    In Depth Explanation About Caterpillar D9

    Uploaded by

    Greg Alkovitz
    Caterpillar Inc. does not manufacture a military version of the D9 per se, but the attributes that make the D9 popular for major construction projects make it desirable for military applications as well, and in this role - with Israeli modifications and armor - it has been particularly effective for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and later for the United States armed forces (the Marine Corps and the US Army) in Iraq.

    Caterpillar D9

    The Caterpillar D9 is a large track-type tractor designed and manufactured by Caterpillar Inc.
    Though it comes in many configurations it is usually sold as a bulldozer equipped with a
    detachable large blade and a rear ripper attachment.

    The D9, with 354 kW (474 hp) of gross power and an operating weight of 49 tons, is in the upper
    end (but not the heaviest), of Caterpillar's track-type tractors, which range in size from the D3
    57 kW (77 hp), 8 tons, to the D11 698 kW (935 hp), 104 tons.

    The size, durability, reliability, and low operating costs have made the D9 one of the most
    popular large track-type tractors in the world. The Komatsu D275A is one of its most direct
    competitors.
