Cat D11R Carry dozer yellow

The Machine:
Introduced in 1996, the D11R was the largest tractor Caterpillar has produced. It had a dual-turbocharged, aftercooled fuel injected, diesel 3508B V8 engine producing 850 flywheel horsepower. Drawbar pull maxed out at around 270,000 pounds. It came standard with electronic clutch brake steering with fingertip controls, electronic transmission control, Cat monitoring system, and single-shank ripper. Every component and system in the D11R was built for power and extreme durability.

The Model:
This model is verified for accuracy by the project engineers responsible for manufacturing the real machine. Features on the 1:87 scale model of the D11R include individually linked free-rolling tracks, working track tensioners, a positionable blade, a detailed operator’s cab, a vented engine cover and a visible engine fan. Lights, grab handles and hydraulic lines add to the realism of the model.

150 of the model were made in a standard yellow, 150 anti-glare, and 100 in mine white.
