Electronically controlled powershift transmission,
efficient clutch/brake steering and durable planetary
final drives deliver outstanding power transfer
and longer life.
Operator Station
Designed for operator comfort, convenience, and
productivity. Machine controls and displays are all
at the operator’s fingertips to maximize operator
productivity.
Serviceability and Customer Support
Combine easy access, modular components with
the Cat Dealer repair and rebuild capability ensures
rapid machine repair and minimum downtime.
Strength from the past. Power for the future.™ The D10T
combines power and efficiency with advanced technology
for outstanding production at a lower cost-per-yard.
Engineered for demanding work.
The durable construction of the D10T is well suited for
tough working conditions. Combined with the C27 engine
for superior performance, fuel economy and meeting
emission targets with the help of ACERT Technology,
it keeps material moving with the reliability and low
operating costs you expect from Cat tractors.
C27 Engine with ACERT™ Technology
Optimizes engine performance and meets emission regulations.
C27
Performing at full-rated net power of 433 kW (580 hp) at
1800 rpm with a torque rise of 21 percent, the D10T can
doze through the toughest material. Matched to the high
efciency torque divider and electronically controlled power
shift transmission, it will provide years of reliability.
ADEM™ A4 Engine Controller
The ADEM A4 electronic control module manages fuel
delivery and airow to get the best performance per liter
(gallon) of fuel used. It provides exible fuel mapping, allowing
the engine to respond quickly to varying application needs.
MEUI Fuel System
Through the use of multiple injection fuel delivery,
combustion chamber temperatures are lower, generating
fewer emissions and optimized fuel efciency. This is
accomplished with the MEUI fuel system, which strikes
the proper balance between the precision of the electronic
control system and the simplicity of mechanically controlled
unit fuel injectors. The result is more productivity and lower
fuel consumption.
Air-to-Air Aftercooling
Air-to-air aftercooling provides cooled compressed air
to the engine intake manifold, thus reducing emissions
and maximizing fuel efciency.
Overhead Cams
Two, single overhead cams are driven by gears on the
ywheel end of the engine. Placing them on the ywheel
end signicantly reduces noise and vibration. To reduce wear,
two pendulum absorbers are mounted at the front of the
camshafts. Together, these features contribute to the long-life
and durability of this engine.
Service
Easier maintenance and repair through monitoring key
functions and logging critical indicators. Electronic diagnostic
access is possible with the Cat Electronic Technician.

Operator Station
Designed for operator comfort, convenience, and productivity.
Operator Controls
Power train and implement controls are conveniently placed for low operator fatigue and ease of control.
Cat Monitoring Display System
The combination dash mounted instrument cluster and the Advisor Monitoring System provide key
machine operating information and give the operator and service technician insight into the machine’s
operation and maintenance needs.
Wide Panoramic View
A large view hole in the single-shank ripper frame provides a view of the ripper tip. The tapered hood,
notched fuel tank, and narrow ripper carriage gives the operator a clear line of sight to the front and
rear work areas. The single-pane door windows provide an excellent view to the sides and blade.
Fuse Panel and Diagnostic Access
The new compartment features a single location fuse panel that includes a diagnostic port for the
Cat ET to connect for rapid machine diagnostics.
Comfortable Operation
Standard isolation-mounted cab reduces noise and vibration. The Cat Comfort Series Seat is fully
adjustable and designed for comfort and support. Conveniently located air circulation vents evenly
distribute airow within the cab. Optional air conditioning available.

Implement and Steering Controls
Reduced operator fatigue for increased performance.
Dozer Control Lever
A low-effort, electronic dozer control handle gives the
operator control of all dozer functions with one hand.
Fore/aft movement of the lever lowers and raises the blade.
Left/right movement directionally tilts the blade. The thumb
lever at the top of the handle controls blade pitch fore and
aft. The trigger switch toggles between single and dual tilt.
Blade response and blade oat can be set/adjusted using
the Advisor Panel.
The left and right side thumb buttons provide control over
the semi-automated blade pitch functions (load, carry,
and spread) that the dual tilt attachment provides.
The two buttons also provide control over the AccuGrade™
blade control attachment when the machine is so equipped.
The buttons turn on AccuGrade, provide manual increment
and decrement control, and turn off AccuGrade.
Electronic Ripper Control
A rigidly mounted handgrip provides rm support for
the operator even when ripping in the roughest terrain.
The low effort thumb lever controls raising and lowering.
The nger lever controls shank-in and shank-out positioning.
Programmable features, such as Auto Lift, Shank-out, and
Auto Stow, increase efciency for the operator.
Finger Tip Controls (FTC)
Clustered for easy, one-hand operation to the operator’s left.
They control steering, machine direction and gear selection.
AutoCarry (optional)
AutoCarry provides automatic blade control during the
carry segment of dozing cycle. It is intended to enhance the
operator’s productivity in high production earthmoving with
carry distances over 30.5 m (100 ft).
Computer Aided Earthmoving System (CAES) (optional)
This on-board electronic site plan directs machine operators,
in real-time, where to cut and ll. A graphical map of the
design plan and a view of the machine’s horizontal and
vertical position simplify operation and enhance production.
This advanced information tool combines GPS technology
(centimeter-level) and in-cab computing capabilities for
precise grade and slope control. Ideal applications include
benches, roads, leach pads, dump areas, and reclamation sites.
AccuGrade (optional)
Automated blade control system that allows operators to
grade with increased accuracy. Machine-mounted sensors
are used to calculate precise blade slope and elevation.

Power Shift with Steering Clutch and Brake
Drive Train
Provides maximum efficiency in combination with the C27 engine.
Torque Divider
A single-stage torque converter with output torque divider
sends 75 percent of engine torque through the converter and
25 percent through a direct drive shaft for greater driveline
efciency and higher torque multiplication. The torque
converter shields the driveline from sudden torque shocks
and vibration.
Planetary Power Shift Transmission
Three speeds forward and three speeds reverse, utilizing large
diameter, high-capacity, oil-cooled clutches.
Modulation system permits fast speed and direction •
changes.
Modular transmission and bevel gear slide into rear •
case for servicing ease, even with ripper installed.
Oil-to-water cooler for maximum cooling capacity.•
Forced oil ow lubricates and cools clutch packs •
to provide maximum clutch life.

Electronic Clutch Pressure Control
Provides smoother shifting by modulating individual clutches.
Steering Clutch and Brake
Fade resistant and adjustment free. The multi-disc, oil-cooled
steering clutches are hydraulically applied and electronically
controlled. The brakes are applied by springs and hydraulically
released for safe and reliable braking performance.
Drawbar Pull vs. Ground Speed
As loads on the tractor increase, the D10T offers unmatched
lugging capability and smooth shifting as the need occurs
to change gears under varying loads. The 3-speed forward,
3-speed reverse transmission offers excellent runout speeds.
Elevated Final Drives
Isolated from ground and equipment induced impact
loads for extended power train life. Crown-shaved drive
gears provide smooth, quiet, low maintenance operation.
Splash lubrication and Duo-Cone™ Seals extend service life.
