Quick Data is a snapshot of new and used construction equipment sales trends from Fusable’s EDA equipment financing data and EquipmentWatch market trend reports.
New financed bulldozers sales remained flat in 2025, while used sales fell slightly year-over-year, according to Fusable’s latest EDA equipment finance data.
Buyers financed 5,052 new bulldozers from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2025, less than a 1% increase compared to the previous year. Among those sales, 3,057 were standard crawler dozers (60.5%) and 1,995 (39.5%) were low ground pressure configurations.
Top 5 Bulldozer Manufacturers in the U.S.
Caterpillar’s bulldozers remained the undisputed top-sellers in the U.S. for the period, accounting for 42.9% of all new financed sales.
Cat upgraded its medium dozer line in 2024 with more standard and optional tech, including Cat Assist with ARO on the D4, D5, D6, D6 XE and D7 models. The D5 through D8 models also now feature a common cab, controls and interface, making it easier for operators to switch between machines.
To get a closer look at the next-generation D8, check out Equipment World’s video below with Cat dozer specialist Sam Meeker:
Komatsu and Deere vied for second and third, with 29.1% and 23.7% of sales, respectively.
Deere launched its 850 X-Tier E-Drive dozer at the company’s 2025 Construction Field Days customer event in Sacaton, Arizona, along with tech upgrades for the 700, 750 and 850 P-Tier dozers. Updates aimed to improve jobsite productivity, reduce fuel consumption and enhance operator comfort with SmartGrade technology, increased visibility and an upgraded cab.
Take a walkaround of the 51,313-pound, 225-horsepower earthmover in the video below with Deere product consultant Cory Brant:
Case CE came in a distant fourth, with 2.6% of all new financed sales for the period. The manufacturer updated its largest dozers – the 1150M, 1650M and 2050M – in May 2025 with a slew of advanced control technologies to enable more precise cuts, fills and grades, as well as enhanced hydraulic and electrical systems for simplified service and increased uptime.
Hyundai, a relative newcomer to the dozer market, edged out its sister company, Develon, by just two units to take the fifth spot. Hyundai entered the dozer market in July 2024 with the 122-horsepower, 10-metric-ton HD100, followed by the 157-horsepower, 15-metric-ton HD130 in November 2024. Hyundai's dozer lineup mirrors that of sister company Develon, with Develon marketing its models under the DD100 and DD130 nomenclature.

EquipmentWatch
Prices for used bulldozers remain elevated. 2025 closed with values still near their five-year peak in Q4 2024, according to Fusable’s EquipmentWatch market trend data.
The average price tag for a used bulldozer was $267,143 in Q4 2024 compared to $266,091 in Q4 2025. The average age of used bulldozers decreased slightly from 9.1 to 8.8 years during the period. The average age and price were calculated based on 142,264 resale listings in the EquipmentWatch database during the period.
EquipmentWatch defines fair market value (FMV) as the monetary value of an asset that can be expected in a transaction with a single seller and single buyer, neither of whom is under any compulsion or time restriction to complete the transaction. FMV for heavy equipment is most closely associated with the private resale market rather than the public auction market.
