2023 Brandt Crawler Dozers 550K

When our customers sound off, we listen. So when you asked us to turn down the noise and turn up productivity on our 450K Crawler Dozer, we responded with a spacious, redesigned cab that's up to 50% quieter. And a more powerful EPA Interim Tier 4 (IT4)/EU Stage IIIB diesel engine. Equipment owners and operators will also find lots more to like in the K-Series - such as a hydraulic-driven fan that provides efficient cooling, reduces noise, and conserves precious fuel. And a convenient sealed-switch module for fingertip control of numerous one-of-a-kind features and functions.

Features may include:

• EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV diesel delivers impressive power, torque, and drawbar pull for work in nonattainment areas and unsurpassed productivity.

• Eco mode regulates engine rpm and hydrostatic (HST) transmission system to burn up to 20-percent less fuel in many applications.

• Dual-path HST transmission ensures smooth moves and allows you to push a full load through turns without losing material.

• Total Machine Control (TMC) allows you to customize decelerator mode and response, forward/reverse ground speed, steering modulation, and forward/reverse speed ratios for superb control.

• Our FT4/Stage IV diesels meet emission regulations without sacrificing power or torque. We built on our Interim Tier 4 (IT4)/Stage IIIB solution to deliver the best combination of performance, efficiency, and reliability. This technology is simple, fluid efficient, fully integrated, and fully supported.

• It employs field-proven cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), easy-to-maintain high-uptime exhaust filters, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR).

• Innovative V-Cool design provides convenient access to both sides of the coolers for easy cleanout. Hydraulically driven fan runs only as needed, reducing fuel consumption and debris flow through the cores.

• Eco mode maximizes fuel economy without sacrificing performance, automatically adjusting engine rpm and transmission settings based on load.

• Auto-idle helps save fuel by reducing engine speed when the dozer is not moving.

• Accessible, clean-hose routing and sleeve protection for cylinder lines to guard against accidental damage on the jobsite.

• Our “open-architecture” design makes adding a grade-control system as easy as plugging in the components, calibrating, and going to work, whether your preference be Trimble, Leica, or a factory-installed Topcon 3D-MC2 system.
