I have a D6RXL with System One and I cannot tell a difference while running it. I bought it new about a year ago and it has around 1200hrs on it. No problems yet - it has cleared, stripped topsoil and ripped rock. (well as much rock as a D6 can rip) It has run on some steep slopes and some rough material. I need to get the Cat house to measure the undercarriage wear to see exactly where we are at.


Now I will have to say I only have 50 or so hours operating it - I am too busy trying to figure out how to pay for it, so I don't get much stick time anymore.:(

This picture was taken last winter.

I think your D6R XL is an XW model instead of the XL.Do you have the 30' pads.Plus because of the design of the blade is why i think it is the XW also,which i call camel back because of the hump or shape in the top of the blade.

The blade should also be a 11'6" wide blade also.I'm pretty sure about it:beatsme I purchased a like new XW blade with the spacers to set the push arm out for the wider blade to put on my D6R XL this spring.

Might want to check it out closer, besides the decals look kind of like it says:D XW.:usa

It does have the 30" pads.
