    Mar 17 2025

    Arguably Cat's most iconic dozer, the D8, turns 100 this year alongside Caterpillar. Mack sits down with Sam Meeker, market professional for medium track type tractors (D4-D8 size), to talk about the next gen D8 which so happens to be in production the year Caterpillar turns 100 years old as a company.

    You won't find a more genuine Cat guy than Sam. Mack and Sam talk about what has and what hasn't changed with the new D8, technology on the new dozer, Cat's unqiue "first cut" blade design, undercarriage, the new cab, and of course farming as Sam grew up in a farming family. Sit back, grab your favourite beverage or snack, and learn all about the new D8!

    You can find Sam on social media, @yieldmap
