Cat C9 with ACERT Technology.
The Cat C9 is an 8.8 L (537 in3)
displacement, six cylinder, in-line
configured engine with hydraulically
actuated electronic fuel injection or
HEUI™. It uses ACERT Technology,
a series of Caterpillar engineered
innovations that provide advanced
electronic control, precision fuel delivery
and refined air management, resulting
in outstanding performance and lower
emissions. The C9 with ACERT
Technology meets U.S. EPA Tier 3
and European Union Stage IIIa
emissions standards.
Cylinder Block. Increased block and
head material strength minimizes
the effect of high cylinder pressure.
A strengthened flywheel housing joint
reduces leaks. The sculpted heavy-duty
design reduces sound and vibration
levels. The mid-supported liner has
fewer sealing joints for a reduced risk
of leaks. The integral oil cooler reduces
engine width, weight and potential leaks
while improving coolant and oil flow.
Cylinder Head. A new cross-flow air
design with four valves per cylinder
and updated port geometry dramatically
improve airflow and engine breathability.
The cylinder head block features a
robust six-bolt design for an improved
seal between the head and block at the
fire ring which prevents combustion
gas leaks. It also minimizes bore/liner
distortion. The improved intake port
geometry provides a smoother transition
and less flow restrictions.
Fractured-Split Connecting Rods.
The new fractured-split connecting rods
are designed to create near-perfect joint
alignment, maximizing rod bearing life.
This, in combination with a high
efficiency oil filter, ensures long
engine life.

A combination of innovations working at the point of combustion, ACERT®Technology
optimizes engine performance while meeting emission regulations for off-road applications.
Engine
ADEM™ A4 Engine Controller. The air-
cooled ADEM A4 controller is the brain
of the engine and contains the engine’s
control software. It regulates fuel
delivery, airflow and other engine
functions. In addition, it directs the
HEUI injectors to deliver multiple
injections of fuel during the engine’s
compression stroke.
Fuel Delivery. Multiple injection fuel
delivery involves a high degree of
precision. Precisely controlling the
combustion cycle lowers combustion
chamber temperatures, which lowers
emissions and optimizes fuel economy.
This translates into more work output
per unit of fuel.
HEUI™ Fuel System. The HEUI fuel
system is highly evolved, with a proven
record of reliability. HEUI uses the
technical advancement of an electronic
control system with the flexibility of
hydraulically controlled unit fuel
injection. The system excels in its
ability to control injection pressure over
the entire engine operating speed range.
These features allow the C9 to have
complete control over injection timing,
duration, and pressure.
Air-to-Air Aftercooler. The air-to-air
aftercooler (ATAAC) brings cool air
to the engine which increases life and
lowers emissions. In addition, the
ATAAC, together with the tight tolerance
combustion chamber components,
maximizes fuel efficiency.
Wastegate Turbocharger. The wastegate
allows high-volume exhaust to be
routed around the turbocharger to the
exhaust piping to prevent wheel spin
overspeed at high rpm but low load
conditions.
Service. The new C9 engine offers
easier maintenance and repair through
monitoring key functions and logging
critical indicators. Electronic diagnostic
access is possible with a single tool,
the Cat Electronic Technician.
Next Generation Modular Radiator
(NGMR). Improves cooling capabilities
by using a parallel flow system with
six cores. Serviceability is improved
with NGMR since there is no top tank
to remove.
Serviceability. This modular core
design permits removal of a single core
without removing the entire radiator so
repair costs and downtime are reduced.
The top tank, side channels and one
sealing surface makes AMOCS more
reliable and easier to service. A site
gauge allows for quick service checks.
Leak Protection. To reduce the potential
for coolant leaks, brass tubes are welded
to a large, thick header to improve the
strength of the tube-to-header joint.
In conditions where abrasive materials
can be airborne, the attachment sand
blast grid should be used to prevent
core damage.
Sand Blast Grid. In an application
where airborne debris is prevalent,
radiator core protection is a concern.
To extend radiator life in harsh
applications, a sand blast grid is
available as an option to deflect the
damaging debris the engine fan propels
at the radiator.
Demand Fan Option. Based primarily
on ambient air temperature, the optional
demand fan can improve productivity
up to three percent and reduce fuel
consumption up to four percent since
the demand fan will only run at a speed
needed to meet the cooling requirements
of the machine. As cooling requirements
increase above 24° C (75° F), the demand
fan performance converges towards
that of the standard fan so lesser benefit
is achieved.

30 percent through a direct drive
shaft for greater drive line efficiency
and higher torque multiplication.
The D6T torque divider provides:
• High reliability
• Low dynamic torque
• Optimum combination of operator
efficiency and drive line reliability
• Components designed to absorb full
engine power

Power Train
Multi Velocity Program (MVP).
The Multi Velocity Program (MVP) is an
innovative machine control system that
allows the operator to choose from five
different speed ranges in Forward and
Reverse, providing the operator with
the flexibility to match machine speed
to a variety of applications and ground
conditions. This exclusive solution allows
the operator to maximize production,
minimize fuel consumption,and lower
overall machine operating costs.
MVP provides the operator with
five speed ranges in both Forward and
Reverse. The engine speed in each speed
range has been optimized to provide the
best performance, fuel economy, and
drawbar pull. The operator retains the
ability to operate the machine in either
the 3 speed or 5 speed mode.
Operating Efficiency and Drive Line
Reliability. The D6T torque divider
attains the best combination of operating
efficiency and drive line reliability.
It acts as a hydrodynamic component
between the engine and transmission
to reduce dozing shock loads to the
transmission and final drives.
Planetary Power Shift Transmission.
The D6T planetary power shift
transmission utilizes large diameter,
high capacity, oil-cooled clutches.
These clutches provide higher torque
capacity and increased service life.
The planetary power shift transmission
offers several key features and benefits,
including:
• Electronically controlled modulation
system that allows fast, smooth
speed and direction changes
• Modular transmission and
differential slide into rear case for
servicing ease, even when a ripper
is installed
Differential Steering System.
Differential steering maintains power
to both tracks while turning. The tractor
turns when one track speeds up and the
other slows down an equal amount.
The operator can steer and control the
transmission simultaneously, which can
reduce cycle times in some applications.
The differential steering tiller bar has
touch shift buttons for upshifts and
downshifts. Low tiller bar efforts assure
operator comfort during long shifts.
Large blade loads can be maneuvered
around buildings, bridge abutments, trees
or other obstacles. Steering modulation
is also optimized for precise control in
these applications. Greater load capacity,
power and speed control are possible
in soft underfoot conditions on steep
slopes because both tracks are powered
during turns.
Elevated Final Drive. Elevated final
drives are isolated from ground and
work tool-induced impact loads for
extended power train life. The modular
design ensures quick and easy service
when required.
Load Compensating Shifting. With load
compensating shifting, clutch engagement
timing automatically adjusts according
to the load factor. This allows improved
tractor performance and operator
comfort during speed changes and
reduces the amount of energy dissipated
through the clutches to help extend
transmission component life.

Frame and Castings. The D6T frame is
built to absorb high impact shock loads
and twisting forces. The frame has a
reinforced saddle and a welded front
cross-member that add strength to
the frame to better handle lateral and
twisting forces. Steel castings augment
the strength of the main case.
VPAT Frame. The D6T VPAT frame
has solid side rails to provide a stronger

the saddle to allow the dozer side loads to
go into the mainframe instead of through
the radiator guard. The reinforced
saddle accommodates additional loads
through the frame.
Pivot Shaft. The pivot shaft is bolted
to the mainframe and connects to the
rear roller frames to allow independent
oscillation. The pivot shaft distributes
impact loads through the case.
This design eliminates alignment
problems and the need for diagonal
braces on the roller frames.
Equalizer Bar. The pinned equalizer bar
gives the roller frames the ability to
oscillate up or down independently
to better match ground contours while
providing maximum traction and operator
comfort. The redesigned equalizer bar
features bolted end pins to offer longer
life and reduce downtime. This design
also allows for improved serviceability
and reliability.

Center Tread Idler. SystemOne
Undercarriage uses center tread idlers
which coupled with new, taller flange
rollers, improve guiding and eliminate
link scalloping. The center tread idler
will increase system life 50 percent or
more in most applications since they
will last as long as two link assemblies.
In combination with the rotating bushing
design, the center tread idlers and
sprocket segments can, in most cases,
be reused through at least two
undercarriage lives.
Track Gauge. Wider gauges for the D6T
ensure better overall performance on
slopes and make the tractor easier to turn
in a variety of applications. Additionally,
the gauge changes allow for wider
straight shoes on all configurations
except LGP VPAT.
Primary Track Guiding. SystemOne
track primary track guiding is greatly
improved over conventional track
guiding. New SystemOne single flange
track rollers have a 40 percent increase
in flange height which increases roller
flange side surface area to greatly
improve track retention in the rollers.
Only the tall, single flange rollers are
offered with SystemOne undercarriage.
Secondary Track Guiding. SystemOne
secondary track guiding is improved.
The straight track link design eliminates
the conventional link pin boss. The fixed
track frame guiding surfaces guide
directly on the hardened link side rail.
The fixed guide wear surfaces are
specifically profiled to match the
SystemOne track link side rail geometry.

faster and easier.
Product Support. Nearly all D6T parts
can be found at Cat dealer parts
counters. Cat dealers utilize a worldwide
computer network to find in-stock
parts to minimize machine downtime.
An exchange program for major
components may be available. This will
shorten repair time and lower costs.
Remanufactured Components. Genuine
Cat remanufactured parts helps save
money with the same warranty and
reliability as new products at cost
savings of 40 to 70 percent. Components
are available for the drive train, engine
and hydraulics.
Parts Pricing. The price of parts can
impact the overall owning and operating
cost of any piece of equipment and are
often overlooked when a purchase is
being considered. At several points in
the machine’s life cycle, maintenance
or repair parts will be required.
Parts pricing is all about maximizing
the bottom line of the end-user and as a
result, Cat parts are priced, on average,
35 percent lower than those of other
tractors in this size class.
Resale Value. History has proven, and
continues to show, that Cat machines
bring a much higher price than other
brands when resold. This translates
into all Cat equipment owners getting
a greater return on their investment than
with other brands.
