This 2012 Caterpillar D6N XL is a rare find in the "pre-DEF" market, meticulously maintained and specifically upfitted for land clearing and heavy forestry work. The current owner’s commitment to maintenance is evident, with less than 200 hours on a nearly complete undercarriage overhaul—including brand-new S.A.L.T. rails and sprockets—supported by full invoices.

Equipped with a Forestry Kit (sweeps and screens) and a multi-shank rear ripper, this machine is armored and ready for the woods. The AC system was recently overhauled for operator comfort, and the radiator/filters have been cleaned daily, ensuring the engine and hydraulics run cool under heavy load. This is a "buy-it-and-work-it" machine that bridges the gap between raw power and modern precision.
