I am thinking of getting an older dozer to clear tree lines, Push back sucker trees from edge of field, Possibly clear and shape a ravine for a pond. What are the best models and brands for ease of maintenence, cost of parts, availability of parts, initial cost. What should I look for to avoid in a used dozer?
Thanks

If I was looking for a dozer now just starting out, I'd hunt for a D 7E Cat with a turbo. They were easy to run slow in the gears and reliable good power. Or a good D 6C. Both of them ought to be in the 20,000 dollar price range. There are no cheap parts on a dozer, I don't care what kind you buy they"re all high. Undercarriage rail and grouser roller sprocket front idler. Motor and transmission. If I was you I'd call the previous owner up and talk to him about the dozer. |
