It is designed for grading, loading, material handling, and work in confined jobsite conditions where flotation and traction are important. The 279D3 uses a vertical lift design and a tracked undercarriage for improved stability on soft or uneven ground. Common applications include construction, landscaping, agriculture, and utility work. The machine is compatible with a wide range of hydraulic attachments, including buckets, forks, augers, and grapples. Its compact size supports transportability and operation in restricted spaces. ## Photos ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz05MmU1MDk0ZGJkNWRhNTcxZTM0YWUwOTAxYjQzMjNkOCYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjIxNzE4) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 2](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz04YjQzNGRhYzUyNDEyZTdmOTY0YTVkNDNmMzQ4ZjkwOSYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjMyNzU5) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 3](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz1mOGY5MDQ0NWFmNWJjNmVlZmIwNDVkNDY1OWVlMTE3YSYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjU2ODI1) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 4](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz05YTVjOWU2NjZkMzNkZGVmYzE5MDJjY2E2NTM4ZWUxYiYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjM0Mzk3) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 5](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz1jMzdmNjFmMDhkMGE5NzQ5OTg4MGE0OWM4NDE0M2Q3YyYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjM0MzAz) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 6](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz04ZjIxMTg0NWFlZWFjMWE2ODMyN2M5ZTNjNjcwOTI3MiYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjI1MTI3) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 7](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz1mZTg1MWM5ZjQ4ODhlNGFhYWRkOGUxNGE5NzE2YzRiNCYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjI5Mjcx) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 8](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz04Y2ViMzAwN2YwYWEyMWY1ZGQ1OGUyOGFjMWU0Y2RlNyYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjI1ODgw) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 9](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz1hYmIxMzlmNTk4NGUyNGVjZmE1ZDNjZjdmNWI3ZmE0YyYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjQxMzgx) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 10](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz05MTY3YmQ5N2Y0YThiOWI4ZjU5NmVlYmQ3NjQwNTE5ZSYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjQ4ODc1) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 11](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz1mZjAwNjJlYmRiNDc2YWMwOTZlMzcwNjUwMTY3MDUzOCYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjQwMTEy) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 12](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz04Mzg1YWY2ZWQ0Nzk0ZTUxOWQ4NjkwN2ZkNjZjNGZkOSYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjg3OTE=) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 13](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz05NTVkM2Y1NmM2MjQyNTkwOTYwZmI3Zjc4ZmNhMGQ3NyYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjMyMjU4) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 14](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz1hMDE5ZGU0OGI2YTg4NDkwZjEyNzFiZDRhYmI2ZTY4NSYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjYyNDQ5) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 15](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz1jYjM2M2IyOTUwMmQ2NWMxZDJmZDIwOGMxNzAzNTFjMyYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjQwODgz) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 16](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz1lMGM4ODIxZTg5NDI3YzIyZDI3YjhmMTIwZTU0YmM3ZCYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjExNTIy) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 17](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz05NGUwNDQyMzg3MTMzMzk3YmFmOThkYmEwNDliZmU1NCYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjQ1MjE3) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 18](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz04OWRjOTE0NWI3OTdmOTUxZWMxOGQ3NGIzNDkxMTJhZCYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjM4MjU=) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 19](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz04N2FmZTAwZmU2YjdmZWE5ZGNmODJhNDVlZjJhOWNhYiYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjU1NTM3) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 20](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz1kNjVjMmRmOTNhNTc0MzEzODIwZmFjMTljZTRhNmExYiYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjQ2OTA=) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 21](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz1jMzEyNjA4YTU0ZWEyNWVkZWVjYzM1OGUxNGM4ZmZjZSYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjE3Mjg1) ![2023 Caterpillar 279D3 photo 22](http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CatUsedProduction/wtk?JHNyYz1jOWRlMGU1MmRhZWZmZjRhZDA0NDZhMTM3YjFhYzg4MCYkdHh0PVlBTkNFWSUyMEJST1MuJTIwQ08uJjI3MDQw)
