Old Magnet Comments on 2008 Cat D4KXL

Yes, it is a hydrostat machine.
Too new for me to know anything about. Here's some specs.

I haven't heard of much issue with these tractors - everything always comes down to hours, history of machine, abuse etc. Do you have the serial number of it I could look up the repair history of it for you on the Cat side of things.

Ironman I will try to get the serial number, repair history would tell me a lot, Thanks

Ironman here is a photo of the model & serial number plate but unfortunately I cannot make out the serial number. Called the owner and he did not have the serial number written down. Is it somewhere else on the machine?

Dick Tucker,
Your serial number is MMM00353 and that tractor was built on 5-19-2008.

d9gdon wonder if there are any recall notices from CAT on it. I thought the serial number was below MMM00353?

They are asking $72,000 for it has around 2,300 hrs and they say it has 70% rails left. Here are 2 pictures of it. I found past sales in Ritchie Brothers around $62,000 for a machine just like it. What do Yall think? It comes with a mesquite tree grubber and brush rack.

There's always "asking" and "getting". Probably not far out of line if you add in the attachments.
Start negotiating at the $62K.

Some questions:
What is the current type owner? private, rental company, construction company, lease, dealer? etc.

That red sand that it's in will eat an undercarriage up. Have somebody that knows what they're doing to measure it instead of accepting a guess from the seller. I'm not sure how familiar you are with dozers, but you can get over $10 thousand just in parts tied up in a new undercarriage, even on a small dozer like that.

It looks like a well cared for machine from what I can tell from the pictures. I've put probably 3-400 hours on the D6K's and the worst thing about them is the stupid thumb wheel to angle the blade. I had to wear a glove after the first day from a blister.

I looked up your serial number to get the build date, so I know that MMM00350 is correct.
