I worked for an old engineer who loved the old Cat D-2's. They would drop 2 over an island in the Pacific, using 3-4 chutes. He said usually one would survive and the other would be used for spare parts! The old D-2 weighed about 3 tons, so your machine will prove itself to be very capable. To those who have a big track skid steer the balance will just not be the same as this dozer. Both great machines, but built for different purposes.
Great looking machine... I agree with you 100 % on the size of the machine. Having a smaller size machine is the way to go. In most cases when the job is only going to be a short term. As well as the transportation is much easier. I've got a 550 and can transport that dozer. Everything I have is kubota, with the kx080-4 weighing around 20k..But when you work by yourself as I do. You take the smaller jobs that can be just as profitable as huge jobs. Once again great looking machine and wish you success with it...
I had a small 10k pound machine that was hydrastat, so you could move around and change directions very quickly. I had another machine that was 17k pound D4 Direct Drive. That smaller machine with the hydrastat would outwork the D4 most of the time because of how fast and maneuverable it was.
What small dozer are you referring to in the 10K class that is hydrostatic. I’ve put a few hours on Deere 350C and 450C dozers which are direct drive with either a hydraulic directional reverser or high-low-reverse. By direct drive I mean you can stall the engine vs a torque drive unit. Found them very fast.
[nice, looking bull dozer❤ i, just bought a 2002, 939c cat track loader bull dozer with the 4&1 bucket for $40k just installed new batterys, new tracks and pads, new rollers, new chains, new sprockets]
D1? I've never seen anything below a D 3. Seems like they're just playing with numbers now. It looks like a d three or a d four at least from here. I guess it would be great for pads and grading(light grading)
I have not read the specs of the old D3s lately but yes I believe similar. I had the old D4G and I will tell you the specs are nearly the exact same, down to track length, width, blade, and Hp.
Not most but most sml dozer do not have them. I don't see any means on how you could put one on this d1 unless their was some type or attachment and hydraulic to operate the lift cylinder.
Yeah a lot of small dozers may not have them. I have run dozers this size with a ripper. I will say, while it was cool having one on, it wasn’t very effective. In my opinion it may be that this size of dozer with a ripper on it is not of a lot of advantage.
Why is blade laid back at top,Thet means it does,nt cut it scrapes across ground,that's crap,adjust it 2 cut into ground ,then it will bite ,Now test it 4 production!!!!????
I just don't see the validity of buying a not very versatile dozer, as great as it is, and it is a fantastic dozer, but I would rather have a 939C with a quick coupler and a 6 way blade attached to it along with a nice couple buckets and forks.

Totally agree with you. Also that is a very cool story!
What a beauty.👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks!
It looks bigger that the old D-2 Cats. The D-1 is something new to me. Sure pretty, all that expensive paint!! 😅
Thank you for sharing your new CAT. 😊
So nice to see CAT rebrand its line up of Dozers.
Thank you!
What? The rebranding is not right! We know our Cat dozers and now we have to relearn them, so not right. Joking. Nice looking machine.
What a beautiful piece of equipment
Thanks!
Nice machine , that machine will do more than you think 👍
I want this dozer! Congrats man!
Thank you!

Very Nice and Congrats!! Enjoy your machine!!
I have never seen a machine smaller than a D4 .Dozer that is .
D1? I've never seen anything below a D 3. Seems like they're just playing with numbers now. It looks like a d three or a d four at least from here. I guess it would be great for pads and grading(light grading)
It’s definitely a d4
You know what I love more than a dog? A Cat 😆
If it ain't a Cat it's a dog!
The D3, D4, & D5 are now the D1, D2, & D3
jealous!!!!!!!!!!
Get an old 80 are 90 model they mack u think and less stuff to go out on it
Is this the one that is made in China?and imported here?
Same size but is it the same weight?
is this the size of an old d3

Tem a possibilidade de instalar ripper?
Why do most dozers in the us have no rippers?
Not most but most sml dozer do not have them. I don't see any means on how you could put one on this d1 unless their was some type or attachment and hydraulic to operate the lift cylinder.

a winch is more useful in my experience,,,ive only had D2 D4 D5 though,, and all had winches
Why is blade laid back at top,Thet means it does,nt cut it scrapes across ground,that's crap,adjust it 2 cut into ground ,then it will bite ,Now test it 4 production!!!!????
How much was it $$
I would love to know as well. $70K ?
😥🇻🇪🇻🇪🙏🏻 necesito uno 🙏🏻 vivo en Venezuela 🙏🏻😥
How .u have for the lease payment ??
I don’t lease anything. I buy them straight out.

Make More money with a dozer
@@sthdz2932 I completely disagree. Respectfully, but definitely disagree.
Shovel dozer with those attachments...sweet
These must be the made in china cats.
What gives you that indication?
@@bellexcavation9862D1 made in US.
Nice toy 😢
It’s a shame they turn into rattle traps after 1000 hours I feel cats have the worst cabs
Caterpillar is the best I grew up on them 50 years ago and today they still are the best komatsu you suck
