Blade type matters
A working six-way (PAT) blade adds value. Mention a ripper, winch, canopy or heated cab too. Bigger machine? See mid-size and large dozers.
Small dozers in depth
What sets a small dozer's value
Small dozers are popular on farms, acreages and with builders.
Hydrostatic drive
Many small dozers are hydrostatic. Smooth travel in both directions matters.
Cab or canopy
An enclosed cab with heat adds value.
Low ground pressure
LGP machines with wide tracks suit soft ground and are in demand in the valley.
Older small dozers
Older clutch-and-brake machines are still bought. Parts availability matters.
Acreage use
Small dozers used lightly on acreages can be in good shape for their age.
Questions
Common questions
What counts as a small dozer?
Roughly anything under about ten tonnes. Think Cat D3 to D5 K-series machines, Deere 450 to 650, Komatsu D31 to D39 and Case 650 or 750.
Do you buy small dozers with a six-way blade?
Yes. Power-angle-tilt blades are common on small dozers and they add to the value when the cylinders and pivots are in good shape.
My small dozer has a hydrostatic drive that's slipping. Still interested?
Yes. Hydrostatic drive problems are expensive to fix, which is exactly why owners sell. We price it as it is.
Can a small dozer go out of a residential lot?
Usually, yes. A small dozer fits on a tilt deck. Tell us about the driveway, the gate and any overhead wires.
