Part of the D9 series, the D9H is known for its high drawbar pull, durable undercarriage, and use in demanding grading, ripping, and land clearing work. It is typically equipped with a large diesel engine, power shift transmission, and a heavy-duty blade configuration. The D9H was widely used in quarrying, road building, and site preparation. As a crawler dozer, it operates on tracks for improved traction and stability in soft, uneven, or rugged terrain. ## Photos ![1981 Caterpillar
