- Cat D3, Deere 110 TLB, Kubota BX23 and L3800 and RTV900 with restored 1948 Deere M, 1949 Farmall Cub, 1953 Ford Jubliee and 1957 Ford 740 Row Crop, Craftsman Mower, Deere 350C Dozer 50 assorted vehicles from 1905 to 2006
For the last 17 years I have owned a Cat D3 Dozer, 6-way blade with rippers.
I bought it to put in and maintain required fire trails on family property... it's just shy of 16,000 pounds...
Not having a truck or trailer with enough capacity to tow it has been a good thing because it has stopped a lot of people from asking to borrow it.
Much of the family property has been taken over by the park district and while I enjoy my seat time... I can dress the fire trails on the remaining few acres in a couple of hours...
Dozer worked great cutting in trails... some of which was very rocky and also moving downed trees. If I parted with it, I will still have my Deere 110 TLB and the BX23.
So the dilemma is sell or keep...
Would it even bring enough for it to make selling worthwhile... at a buck a pound it would be 16k...
The one thing I don't want to happen is for it to become yard art...
