[quote]QUOTE: <br />On the earthmoving side, everyone is wondering what Caterpillar will do when it runs out of letters of the alphabet. D is for Dozer there, and each new major design series moves up in the alphabet. A D9G is a mid-60s machine, a D9L an early 90s machine. Last I looked they were up to R. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I used to drive a D9G. I thought it was big until I saw a D11R-CD, which has a blade that is twice as big as a regular D11R. BTW a D11 requires 3 rail cars to transport. One to haul the main part of the tractor, one for the blade,hyd. cyls.and arms, and one for the tracks. The wet weight of a D11 is about 220,000lbs. [:D] <br /> <br />I forgot that they have to take the cab off too.
