I've run dozers for 15 years, mainly CAT machines. I have a D4D D6D and D7G all PS trannsmission. From my experiences the D6D is pretty much bullet proof. Always decelerate when changing directions. When you decelerate and knock it out of gear to change directions just bump the brake before shifting into reverse. Yes you use the clutches when you have a loaded blade it won't hurt anything. But don't ride the clutches when turning. Either have it engaged or disengaged, don't ride it halfway. Running in reverse 3 wide open will cause aggresive wear on UC components.
