It's a Zettelmeyer Zd 5001 used by the german army
I would say its a ZD 3000F.
The ZD5002 was built on their biggest loader with a straight 6 engine.
This little bugger got a V10 deutz engine.16L.
Maksimum speed at the road is 62 km/h.
Hydropneumatic suspention both front and back.
Blade has folding extensions so it can be roaded, 2,75m wide.
U can bearly se the suspention arms under at the back.
20t winch at the front.
This is German engineering at their best.(We talk about 1981!)
Here is a link to the brochure:

Thats very interesting about MVO. How long have you been working for them?
Now for the rest of this rest of this thread:
Does anybody other than Cat make them? I heard that Komatsu made, but I can't find them. Suggestions?
Hello, Qball.
Do you wanna bet that that 814B doesn't have pitch control on the blade? Looking at that LONG blade tilt cylinder on the left side, I sure wouldn't bet that it doesn't have pitch control. All the Cat wheel dozers that I ever got to run had a skid plate under the back of the blade and you could pitch the blade back to run on that skid plate for cleaning up floors, etc..
My input on the controls:
Outside lever under operstor's right hand (yellow circle)- joystick blade hoist and tilt control.
Inside lever under operator's right hand (green circle)- blade pitch fore and aft.
Lever indicated by green arrow - diverter valve for pitch/ripper.
Far right pedal - accelerator.
Pedal in red circle - brake only pedal.
Left pedal - combined de-clutch/brake pedal - some models may be brake only.
Lever under steering wheel on left - forward/reverse with twist for speeds.
Red button under rear of steering wheel - park brake.
Box in blue circle - systems monitor with 'Murphy' light.
Just my 0.02.
