The 6H is a very nimble and easy to operate machine. I would recommend a Differential Steer version, they are really reliable . With very little electronics, and easier to service components than a older series, they are much improved to work on. I was not much of a fan of the finger tip steering on the newer M series. I would watch for the equalizer bar to be wore out, and track adjuster bushings and seals to leak. Those can be costly unexpected fixes.

We have a 1998 D6R on the farm neighbor has an H. They are great dozers. I would also highly recommend the diff steer. We did replace our equalizer bar but did it ourselves. It also had 16,000 hrs on it when we did. Its like any piece of equipment its gonna need repairs and maintenance but I think the D6 H and R are probably the best dozers. If you are gonna do tree pushing and dirt work make sure it has the semi U blade and not a 6 way. 6 way is more for finishing work and shaping.

Just to add, the diff steer uses the hydraulic pump to turn the machine. Therefore, the blade will raise at different speeds depending on whether you are turning or not. Makes it hard to do precise work in tight quarters.
