D9 Cat in military dress, with some cool plow attachment. When I want to mess up my neighbor's yard, I'm not doing donuts

What's the deal with the skis on the front? To keep the plow from plowing under?

Yeah, that's some kind of leveling device. I've seen some fun attachments for the D9, but those take the cake.

I should post some of the Israeli "house-leveling" D9's

Just what I need to keep my neighbors quiet

Yeah, but buying a D9 is easy, and I don't have any experience with C4 (yet)

Are you sure it was a 3516B? Because that engine is designed specifically for non-commercial marine applications... It's supposed to be "quieter."

I drove a Cat 789 mining truck, which is powered by a 3516TA - and I'm not sure there is a real difference. The Cat 785 and 793 has the 3516B, though...
