Buy or hire the D6T LGP if...
A mid-size dozer used for bulk earthmoving, site clearance and grading on larger construction and quarry sites. The LGP variant's wider tracks let it work on soft or wet ground where a standard D6T would sink or lose traction.

Buy or hire the EZ17e if...
The 1.5 tonne class is the busiest size in UK hire fleets. At 1,797kg it digs to 2,323 mm for footings, drainage runs and fence posts. Zero tail swing means the back of the machine stays inside the tracks when it slews, so it can work tight against a wall or in one lane of a road.
