    Needing advice for re-sealing D6D Tilt Cylinder...

    Hey folks. Once again, thanks for the wealth of info here! Such a blessing. I am rebuilding this tilt cylinder and am confused on what seals to get. I was told that the blade was not original to the machine, so I cannot go off of dozer serial number. The only complete number I can find on the...

    D6D Serial # question & general info...

    Nice. And yes, it does have a PC motor in it unfortunately. Is there any way to tell if this was factory equipped with cab? I am considering doing a cab delete on it...

    D6D Serial # question & general info...

    Howdy folks. I regretted selling my last d6d so I just picked this one up at auction. Paid 28.4k. Best deal I could find locally. Serial # 4X5667. Seems like a decent little dozer although I have only driven it around the lot. Tractor is a little rough around the edges, but UC is fantastic and...

    Buyers Advice for KX080-4. Anyone else have one?

    Here she is boys. Popped her cherry today digging a few holes, knocking over trees, and digging stumps. Running it in Eco mode until run-in is complete @ 50 hrs. Very impressed with the machine so far. Glad I went with the angle blade, and the 36" bucket is perfect. Even in hard clay it powers...

    Buyers Advice for KX080-4. Anyone else have one?

    Great. Thanks for the tips guys! After my continued research, I plan to order it at the dealer in the morning with the angle blade(mainly because straight blade is 4 mo out from mfg), a 18" bucket, 36" bucket, hydraulic thumb, and rubber tracks. Should come in right around 96k with everything I...

    Buyers Advice for KX080-4. Anyone else have one?

    I would also like to know what bucket size most of you recommend for this machine for general purpose digging. My dealer is suggesting a 36" bucket but I feel like that is a bit large for this machine. Leaning more toward 30"...

    Looking to buy a new or near new dozer to rent out. Thoughts on machine?

    All good considerations. A walk around check sheet with marked damage areas, signed by the renter would be a must. Exaclty like they do when you rent a car. I am trying to decide on the exact machine I would get before breaking it down into renting rates vs. maintenance/depreciation costs...

    Looking to buy a new or near new dozer to rent out. Thoughts on machine?

    Yes, I see pros and cons to the OROPS vs CAB.. I am leaning toward simplicity and ease of maintenance. Here in east tx, most dozers in this size range are used for forestry/fire lanes/general land re claiming instead of dirt work. Being used as such, with the branches sicks and rubble, AC...

    Looking to buy a new or near new dozer to rent out. Thoughts on machine?

    Lots of places nation wide rent to home owners. There is a risk involved, but the delivery and pickup is dont by the owner of the machine(me) for a fee, and the renter is responsible for insurance, liability waver, and complete rental and user agreement drafted by an attorney. There are ways to...

    Looking to buy a new or near new dozer to rent out. Thoughts on machine?

    I buy and sell light, to mid weight equipment as a hobby and have long considered getting into the rental game. I would like to focus primarily on renting dozers as that seems to be a niche seldom filled in my area. I have owned nearly 100 different dozers, mostly d3's d4's and JD 450s, so I am...
