JD 450C Dozer?

[spruce Deere]

Exactly 4570.

More done quicker, less time on job. Be it skidding logs, building roads, moving dirt or clearing ground.

When I was looking for a dozer, 20,000 lbs was my minimum for what I needed and wanted to do.

I work for a saw mill now. I run there D-7 dozer bought new in '75 till 3 years ago. That ol' dozer would move LOTS of rock and dirt to maintain the log yard and runways dump truck loads at a time. The powers to be decided the D-7 was to old, parts hard to find bla, bla and sold it....

They replaced with a TD-15c. I remind them we still need a dozer....

I plan mostly to use it for logging and very little dirt moving.
I know weight matters but having a fully logging equipped machine trumps size in my case.
I also figured I can always sell it as the demand for this type machine is pretty good.
Plus it is just down the hill and up the street from my place.

Man. I think we may have under-valued the one we sold 2 years ago! It was a fully operating and functional machine, sold for $7,000 plus $500 to deliver it aver an hour away. I believe it was about a 1984? It had 1,100 hours on the still working meter.

$7000 might have still been on the low side but track loaders tend to bring less than dozers.

Nice! You will get a lot of work done with that. Now I'm envious!

Welcome to the club

I think of my 350c as a little mountain goat and very capable.

Previous had a CAT D3 for 17 years and it never felt as stable as the 350c

Nice, and you have a winch. That makes it even more useful. Very nice looking machine. I hope it serves you well.

Guys here dad died and left a D 8 Cat. Good looking and running machine. They put a huge price of 11,000 on it and called a construction fella. He jumped in a mack with a low boy and was there in 30 mins, with the money. Two days later a fella called them boys, said he'd give 30,000 for a good parts machine....uh...uh...

Thanks for the kudos, it has been a long time coming and I can't wait to put it in the woods.
