Engine
The C9 engine, matched with the torque divider and field proven power shift transmission,
provides years of dependable service.

Operating Efficiency and Driveline
Reliability. The D6R II torque divider
attains the best combination of
operating efficiency and driveline
reliability. It reduces dozing shock
loads to the transmission and final
drives by acting as a hydrodynamic
component between the engine and
transmission.
Finger Tip Control. The D6R II with
Finger Tip Control features low effort
finger tip levers for steering and touch
shift buttons for upshift and downshift.
The steering clutches and brakes are
fade resistant and adjustment free.
Multi-disk, oil-cooled steering
clutches are hydraulically applied and
electronically controlled. Brakes are
applied by springs and hydraulically
released for safe, reliable braking
performance.
Differential Steering. A D6R II equipped
with differential steering maintains
