Local factors
Specific to the Lower Mainland
- Diesel bylaw: older tiers are harder to sell inside Metro Vancouver.
- Not in Abbotsford or Chilliwack: the bylaw stops at Metro's edge.
- Soft ground: LGP machines hold value here.
- Access: a wet field behind a light bridge takes planning.

Three ways to sell
Private: most money, most time. Auction or dealer: simpler, takes a cut. Us: fast, no fees, any condition. How it works.
Value in depth
Why dozer quotes vary
Two dozers of the same model can be worth very different amounts.
Running condition
Engine, transmission and steering all need to work for top value.
Blade and ripper
Attachments add value.
Hours and records
Service records help.
Transport cost
Larger machines cost more to move, which affects the number.
Metal prices
For scrap dozers, steel prices set the floor, and they move.
Questions
Dozer value questions
Can you tell me what it's worth over the phone?
We can give a rough idea from the make, model, hours and condition. A firm offer usually needs photos.
Why no price list?
Two dozers with the same model number can be worth very different amounts. A price list would be wrong for almost everyone.
Does a new undercarriage raise the value?
Yes, especially with an invoice to back it up. That's one of the few repairs that really shows up in the price.
Is a scrap dozer worth less than a running one?
Almost always. Scrap value is the floor. Anything that works or can be rebuilt adds to it.
