What the specifications mean

The published D4 values remain attached to their stated configuration and rating basis.

D4 — Standard undercarriage and first-column standard/SU blade, blade straight; no rear implement unless stated.

An individual machine must be verified by serial/PIN, installed equipment and actual measurements.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.

Used D4 inspection priorities

Obtain measured undercarriage percentages and matched-component history.
Inspect blade linkage, push arms or C-frame, equalizer bar and pivot points.
Test steering, transmission and installed grade-control hardware under load.
Match the D4 model plate, fitted attachment and undercarriage to the cited reference configuration.

Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.

Hours, condition and ownership cost

Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.

Cost drivers to model

Undercarriage life depends on material, slope, travel and turning practices.
Blade edges, rear equipment, final drives and cooling need separate reserves.
Technology value depends on installed, licensed and calibrated hardware.

Compatibility graph

Attachment considerations

Relationships below identify relevant classes only unless a stronger evidence state is shown. They never assert exact used-attachment fitment.

Implements are treated as configurations for this machine class. Blade, ripper, winch and rear-equipment details must be verified on the actual dozer.

Before confirming fitment

generation and machine configuration
mounting interface, coupler or pin geometry
hydraulic flow, pressure, return and case drain
attachment weight and machine capacity limits
electrical controls or required machine options
