It is commonly equipped with a straight blade, semi-U blade, or angle blade, depending on application. The D7 has been produced in multiple generations with diesel power, hydrostatic or powershift transmission options, and a range of operating weights and horsepower ratings. It is widely used in construction, forestry, mining, and agricultural land development.
