The cost of a new Cat D9 bulldozer is at least $900,000 (£739,624) but extensive “slat armour” editions and offensive capabilities mean the vehicle’s total cost likely exceeds £1 million.
Like many other bulldozers, the D9 can be fitted with other devices, such as mine plows. The rear ripper is intended for use in loosening rocky ground and ripping out larger stones. It can also break frozen ground and excavate small ditches. The ripper can be replaced with a multi-shank ripper, allowing the bulldozer to comb the ground.
