XCMG D260 (EU Stage I) Bulldozer

Powered by the Cummins NT855-C280 — 187 kW (250 hp) at 1,850 rpm, EU Stage I emission certification. Cummins NT855 is a 14-liter inline-six diesel — long-established North American platform widely used in construction, mining, and industrial equipment since the 1980s. Cummins global service and parts network is one of the broadest in the industry — relevant for export operators in remote regions.

EU Stage I emission compliance. Stage I is the original European off-road emission tier — accepted in many African, Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Latin American markets where stricter Stage III or higher is not mandated. Choose D260 (Stage I) over the Stage III sibling when emission jurisdiction is the binding regulatory constraint and Stage I fits.

Hydrodynamic (torque converter) transmission with electronically controlled gear shift. Limit-load control protects the powertrain under heavy push loads. Different drivetrain architecture from the hydrostatic D200H — hydrodynamic favors simpler service profile and lower parts cost; hydrostatic D200H favors finer modulation for grading work.

Stage I variant of the D260 platform. Stage III sibling (D260 EU Stage III) carries the SC9DF270G3 engine — 199 kW at 2,200 rpm, 12-percent higher rated power, EU Stage III emission. Stage III sibling fits Europe, North America, and tightening-emission Asian markets. Stage I version fits emerging-market jurisdictions accepting Stage I — typically with lower fuel-quality requirements and simpler aftertreatment.

Blade edges, ripper teeth, undercarriage components, and hydraulic seals share core part numbers with other 23-ton-class XCMG crawler dozers (D260 EU Stage III, D260LGP).
