Receivers on the blade detect a plane provided by an offboard base station and signal the machine controllers to raise, lower, or pitch the blade automatically to cut the final target grade. I plan to do my big jobs then sell it.The 333G Compact Track Loader (CTL) can be outfitted with a range of grade control solutions from 2D Laser Slope Control, SmartGrade™ Ready with Slope Control, and the industry’s first fully integrated 3D grade control solution available on a compact track loader, SmartGrade™ All these solutions provide an overall, more efficient manner of cutting and spreading material to get to grade the first time and avoid rework, even in tight areas.ĢD Laser Slope Control provides a cost effective and precise solution for grading flat pads and simple slopes both in outdoor and indoor settings. Seriously shopping for a dozer but also looking for that machine that has been taken care of and will not - hopefully - cost me a fortune in maintenance costs. I shopped for tractors for three years before I pulled the trigger on my Kubota M8200 because I knew enough to realize it was a good deal. You can tell some things just by doing a walk-around. Also been stopping at HE dealers to look at different machines so I can compare and learn about machines that have been maintained and those that have been abused or neglected. I've been reading on a number of heavy equipment forums and any articles I can find. I used to work in the coal mines and was a maintenance supervisor for a while so I've been around a lot of heavy equipment and even got to run some during contract strikes but I did not actually work on anything - union rules - so I really know just enough to understand how risky buying used equipment can be. This trip is just to get a general overview and see if I think this guy is telling the truth. I had planned to take somebody with me if I got serious about buying it. Just an FYI, make sure you look into any applicable permits especially for the pond building. The reclaimed strip job may have some gnarly surprises if you tried that with a smaller dozer. Sounds like a good matched machine for your needs. I cleared about 8 acres with my 5083 and the loader with 0 problems. The autumn olive come out of the ground very easily. If the filters were just changed, i'd be a bit more suspicious. Also, look at the fuel bowl for any signs of water. I'd pull every fluid cap and smell the fluids for any signs of contamination. I don't know if those dozers were hydrostat or not but they should run through the gears easily if not. The machine should also track straight in forward and reverse. Get the dozer up to operating temperature and bury the blade, it should be able to spin both tracks in low gear. If you don't know anything about undercarriages take someone with you who does even if you have to pay them. I would check every component regardless of whether he says they are new or not. 3700 hours isn't to bad but I would not be to concerned with the hour meter.
