| abstract | - The first pilot D10 was D10X1 and was shown in July 1973 at a big Caterpillar corporate meeting. Other prototypes would follow in 1975 and 1977. In March 1977 prototypes P-1 thru P-10 would be appear and dispatched to different job sites. The Caterpillar D10 was the result of a need for a tractor larger than the Caterpillar D9. At this time, competitors were building bulldozers that were more powerful than the D9. Allis-Chalmers introduced at Conexpo 69 in Chicago a hp (kW) Allis-Chalmers HD-41, which was the largest crawler in the world (at that time). In 1974 after AC and Fiat merged their construction equipment divisions the hp (kW) 41-B was introduced. For example, the Fiat-Allis 41-B track-type tractor had hp (kW) at the time, while the D9H had hp (kW). In 1976 Japanese company Komatsu came out with an even larger bulldozer called the Komatsu D455A at hp (kW) and 167000 lb. The D10 was so big that it was about 50 percent more production than the D9H. The D10 was introduced at a dealer meeting by Caterpillar in the fall of 1977. Between 1978 and 1986 nearly 1,000 D10s were made at Caterpillar's East Peoria, Illinois, USA plant. The D10 had more sales than the Fiat-Allis/Komatsu competitors similar sized bulldozers combined. With the introduction of the N-Series tractors in 1986-87 their model numbers were pushed up. For example the D9N replaced the D8L, the D10N replaced the D9L and the D11N replaced the D10.
