Looks awesome. Question: Can you feel the load behind the blade? On a 'regular ' machine, you can feel the load and 'strain' on the engine. I used to be able to 'feather' the throttle when fine grading and feel exactly how much material I was pushing vs. what is going under the blade. That combined with the automatic pitch control "in your butt" is what enables you to make and hold a grade. I don't know if I could "connect" to a machine that has the exact same torque, regardless of load. IUOE Local 15, 38yrs ret
Interesting! would be very surprising if the electric motor doesn't give you at least a little bit of feedback on the load and strain on the engine! Let me know if you ride one of the electric ones!
Sure getting lots of site compaction vs using a grader which I believe would be more efficient especially cost of equipment wear. Good advertising though.
Why would U wear out all them , pins , bushings, sprockets, rollers , and track chains, when a grader can do the same job better faster and only wear out the cutting edge. Absolute waste of a machine . It was never made to do a graders job.
I didn’t like Komatsu... until I ran some. I especially hated the new small dozers with the sloped nose. But... the visibility is amazing. They can push. But... for a mid size machine... I’ll stick to cat. Smaller dozers...Komatsu. I can do pretty much anything from clearing to chasing 350 excavators to cutting curb and gutter pan with the older D41p Komatsu. They both make fine machines tho. But for mid size... D6 to D8 size machines... I’d take Cat.
There are no batteries, it's not a hybrid. It's diesel-electric so they use a smaller diesel motor (C9.3) to run a generator that provides power to the electric traction motors.
Awesome video Awesome watching aggregate gravel being spread from the blasted rock video
Has to one of the best dozers ever made, period. I have run one
Try a D 71 Komatsu, its even better.
My friend, it is very nice to watch videos, you did a good job. Achievements.
I'm dying to run one of these new dozers in real world conditions and put it through its paces.
I don't think you'll be disappointed judging from the feedback i've got from operators.
@@AwesomeEarthmovers I may have to make a trip up to the cat dealership at some point

Wow ilove D6
I love this bulldozer
Sounds great, what are the operators saying about them?
All positive feedback. Plenty of power and very smooth to operate as there’s no power shift transmission with it being electric drive.
@@AwesomeEarthmovers Interesting, thanks. Nice machines!
If that’s not Lazor guided he’s an Excellent Driver.
It’s not “laser guided” and he is an excellent Operator.
@@dozer1642 Thanks for the reply, It’s not you is it ? 👍
@@onyourbikeuoldfart haha. No. 👍
It’s GPS guided. Pods on the roof
Laser guided dozers. Lol. Nice. 🤣 I used to run lasers on a 6 but the GPS system is the way to go now.
Равняет не хуже грейдера.
Caterpillar Power
Supposed to be working but my Doctor says watching these will give me bigger nuts, so...
Diesel electric? What do you mean by that?
a Prius-dozer.
Nice tractor, Looks like it's paired up with a total station for 1-3 mm Grading . For me i would still have a Komatsu over a cat...
You’re clearly trolling...
Komatsu’s do get a good name for smaller dozers but the D6XE is a very good dozer and definitely worth being open minded about.
Der a nice dozer .....but am a komatsu man wen it comes to dozers.......
This bulldozers are durable and reliable.
Go get your throw away kamotsu

What’s the fuel consumption on this vs a new gen d6
There are big fuel savings with the XE compared to direct drive D6’s. It depends on what application you are working in though.
Pretty cool concept and cool to see but sorry still will take a Komatsu over it.
Don’t knock the D6XE, it’s a very very good dozer.
@@AwesomeEarthmovers Not knocking cause I’m sure it’s a fine dozer just personal and company preference to run an i Komatsu dozer

Don't think I would like to pay to replace any batteries after a few years.

Like a locomotive man 🙄
if your girl doesn't drive a D6XE Electric then leave her
Poor things cross eyed.
