You can select a new one being offered by a dealer and then click on the Window Sticker option which details are the standard items and optional add ons. A good start for things other than basic specs like length, width, height, weight, etc. For used trucks this is not an option unless...

I had a similar rationale and situation where I needed to purchased a 100hp skid steer (not excavator) and was also concerned about machines sold by general equipment resellers and their history. I wound up purchasing a Caterpillar unit from the used equipment department of the large regional...

I looked to upgrade my tractor and wanted a used 75hp John Deere to save money since I do not put a lot of hours on it. Tried Facebook Marketplace but some sellers were poor communicators or items were sold by the time I followed up. Wound up getting a great deal from a large JD dealer network...

I have a Champion 27 ton and it works fine for my needs. A couple of things to consider are that it should not be used for an extended period of time without shutting down to cool off and logs should be 24" or less in length to fit in the channel. I use ethanol free gas since I do not use...
