I've seen a few of these machines labelled as 'SERIES III' dozers in Australia (photos a few years old). Were these machines implementing newer emissions before the T series or just trigger happy dealerships? Mine guys? Any info would be appreciated.

I'm getting a custom model built and I was curious about the decals....

This was an initiative of a dealer north of us to identify the 3 different s/n prefix D11R model machines comprising the 8ZR, 9TR & 7PZ.

There are plenty of other ways to distinguish them if you know what you are looking for ie the 8ZR has a ball and cap set up connecting the barrel end of the ripper tilt cylinder to the main frame instead of a straight pin and the 9TR has parallel bottom on each side fender to the top of the fender where as the 8ZR has it slightly angled like the D11N before it, The 7PZ has larger engine bay doors that have a an extended piece in them to accomadate the larger air filter cannisters just to name a few things.

So i spose it is just easier to give em a 1 ,2 & 3 designation!!

That bulldozer means business. Four shank ripper ? Didn't someone post this same model recently ? Sure would be a nice model to own.

Hump kit as standard on the 7PZ serial as well Gav?

They put all that crap on a nice dozer then blind the poor operator with a good dose of CrAT yellow

What, you want to see something once you get on safely, c,mon!!!

Funny thing is the guy is not even coming down the ladder safely in the pic, you are not supposed to come down facing outward on a ladder!!

Well if you follow the logic that the std first model D11R, an 8ZR machine was a series 1 and there is a 9XR & AAF s/n D11R CD then there would be a series 1 and 2 going by the way HD do there thing, the Norscot would reflect a series 1
