Pics of Ag Industries D9L (14Y) at Moorcroft Quarry in Plymouth. This machine is about 30yrs old and has around 27000 hrs on the clock and is in really good condition for it's age and is testament to the build quality of these early type Hi-Drive dozers.

Thanks for sharing Jim you are quite right that dozer is in first class condition for a machine of that age, good quality is one of the most important factors when deciding on any type of machine, especially when the cost of it runs into thousands.

I 'd like that parked up in my garden for sure!

Thanks Jim

Lots of beacons on it too - all round! Bet you can see that coming!

So, nowadays that would be similar size to the D10 wouldn't it? Didn't the D9L eventually become the D10N?

Great tractor.big lump but quiet as big as 10N

I mean..not quite as big as 10N!!

You bet Dah. The D9L was replaced with the D10N. They're both pretty much the same size, but a few upgrades on the D10N made it just a touch bigger all around.

I remember seeing a Dyggor Gaylord D8L in their workshops and it was a big machine comparred to the D8H etc. Nowadays its D9R size I guess after the re-numbering.

I also saw an original D10, which was huge! Not quite as large as the D11N's but its was definately getting there!
