Buy or hire the D6K2 if...
- you want one that is the bigger machine by 15,078kg
A medium dozer for site grading, cut-and-fill and light earthmoving where a full-size dozer would be overkill. It is hired by groundworks and landscaping contractors needing precise grading as much as raw pushing power.

Buy or hire the D51PX if...
A mid-size dozer built with wider, low ground pressure tracks for soft or wet ground. Groundworks and landfill contractors choose the PX variant over a standard-track D51 where the ground itself would otherwise bog a machine down.
