Folks,
I would appreciate any and all suggestions you care to offer here. I have about 10 acres that are pretty much inaccesable due to some mushy area. I would like to get back and clean out all the brush and figure out why I have the standing water that I do in certain areas. After a week of zero temps, I wnet back there with my TC40D and still sunk in. Feel I need a dozer.
I can rent a dozer for $1,000 a week. I just don't have ability to set aside that much time however to do the job and am considering purchasing a small dozer that I can do the work when time permits.
So do you have any recommendations on a small dozer to do what I want that I can get resonably? I also have a Case 580D, but can't get that anywhere near the area right now obviously. Am I looking at $10K for a used Komatsu D20P or is there a less costly alternative?
Thanks for you thoughts.
