I need Info On a Komatsu D20Q loader.

[colej]

I am looking at a 1982 Komatsu D20Q track loader. the machine is over 300 miles from me. However I have received pics, very close ups, and the unit seems to be in Good condition. The machine has been painted, I know paint covers up a lot, The front bucket has No dents and is very clean. I hope some one can help me. I dont want to buy a pig in a poke! I have spoken to the owner, he said that it was a trade in and knows very little, except that it runs great and no white smoke, note the machine has 2900 hrs. He said that it had wet steering clutches, is this true? Does the 1982 D20 have wet clutches. I would also like to know is it direct drive..The trans requires u to use the clutch between forward and reverse, it is not like the hydrostatic machines. Is this a good dependable system? Also it is hand lever steering. The price sounds great, under 8000.00. Now will it do what I want to?? I have a small 25 acre farm with Hills. I want to pull small logs, cut out a road for my atv to go up. I have looked at skidsteer loaders, I know rubber tires wont work on hills and the track skidders are tooooooo expensive. I may even use it to clean out a small pond and my barn. Can someone steer me in the right direction?
