My new to me D5K XL.

[PNECAT]

Hey everyone I figured I would post a few pictures of my new CAT D5K XL. I'm very happy with the dozer and can't wait to put some time on this baby.

Congrats. We have a 6k and has been a great tractor. Just keep an eye on the tracks if it's system 1 undercarrige.

Does anybody have the part # for the rops that attach to the front hood and to the top of the cab? I'm looking to buy a set soon so anything would help find a set new or used. Thanks

She is beautiful, how many hours does it have on it? What are you planning on using it for?

D5 stuff

Well done, am looking to get a similar machine soon myself. The K series have been on the market for a couple of years now and would like to hear from yourself or any other owner/operators how they have panned out compared to the G series, do you have any experience on dozers and or earlier model 5s. Good luck PEACAT.


My first ever reply, joined forum to learn about D5s

oops my apologies I meant PNECAT

If you provide a serial number I can get you a parts break down. I assume you are referring to the limb risers that attach at the hard nose and at the cab?

I have had 3 other dozers other than the D5k but nothing this big or new. I looked at a few different models and operated them also and felt like the D5K XL was going to fit my needs the best. I like the D5G model also. Thanks

Yes I'm looking for the limb risers from the hood to the cab for a 2009 D5K XL.

The machine has 6'000 Hrs and I'll be using it on multiple different types of jobs. Good machine for a little bit of everything.

First job building a pole barn stripping Topsoil off with the D5k.

Great choice PNECAT.
Lancelot, I currently run an 2003 D5G XL and a 2014 D5K2 XL, both are nice machines but the K2 is a cadillac compared to the G. I like running the G raking, clearing fence rows, pushing fire breakes, ect.... I usually use the K2 reworking, opening up, and building roads for timber crews, to me it's alot smoother and faster than the G working roads, plus the K2 is still got new on it and I don't wanna scratch it up, lol

How do you guys go with demobilising your 5s, I like the size because you can what Americans call "roll on roll off", which is a big cost saver, with the big distances down here. And the cost of a dealer call out in remote areas a bit scary. We can use what we call a "tilt tray" for this size machine.
Nice choice to have to take in the morning Turbo
