CRAWLER DOZERS
60–78 kW (80–104 hp)
 We hear you
loud and clear.
When customers sound off, we listen. So when participants
of our Customer Advocate Group (CAG) asked us to turn down
the noise and turn up productivity on our K-Series Dozers,
we responded with a 450K that’s 16-percent more powerful
than the previous model. Eco mode that regulates engine rpm
and hydrostatic transmission to burn up to 20-percent less fuel
in a wide range of applications. And Total Machine Control on
the durable sealed-switch module for easy customization and
reliable control of a variety of machine functions. There’s more
to like in the K-Series.

 With you on the jobsite.
K-Series Dozers quietly go about the business of helping make your operators
comfortably productive. Inside their roomy, well-appointed cabs, you can
almost hear fatigue drop. You’ll discover what your operators need to get
more done in a 450K, 550K, or 650K.

Sealed-switch module (SSM) allows low-effort control of keyless start and

enables exclusive features such as turbocharger cool-down, auto shutdown,
and Eco mode. Touchpad security system requires a numeric pass code (when
activated) to help prevent unauthorized machine operation.

Generous hydraulic flow and precise metering deliver powerful and quick
blade response, while providing the natural “feel” that makes the most
of an operator’s grading ability.

At just 75 dBA, the cab is noticeably quiet. Spacious and comfortable, too.

Health Monitoring Center analyzes data from
thousands of connected machines, identifies

remote diagnostics and programming capability
to further diagnose problems and even update
machine software without a time-consuming trip
to the jobsite.

Ash-service intervals for the diesel particulate

filter (DPF) are condition based, meaning the
machine will notify the operator before service
is required. Typically, ash service is not necessary
until the first engine overhaul. Machine applica-
tion, regular maintenance practices, and type of
lubricating oil impact ash-service intervals.

Air Cleaner Dual-stage dry tube with tangential unloader
Cooling
Type Variable-speed suction fan with optional reversing feature
Engine Coolant Rating –37 deg. C. (–34 deg. F)
Engine Radiator 10 fins per in.
Powertrain
Transmission Automatic, dual-path, hydrostatic (HST) drive; load-sensing feature automatically adjusts speed and power to match
changing load conditions; each individually controlled track is powered by a variable-displacement piston pump and
variable-displacement motor combination; ground-speed selection buttons on single-lever steering and direction control;
independently selectable reverse speed ratios of 100%, 115%, or 130% of forward ground speed; decelerator pedal
controls ground speed to stop

Travel Speeds
Forward and Reverse 8.0 km/h (5.0 mph)
Maximum (optional) 9.7 km/h (6.0 mph)
Steering Single-lever steering, direction control, and counter-rotation; full power turns and infinitely variable track speeds
provide unlimited maneuverability and optimum control; HST steering eliminates steering clutches and brakes
