I was wondering what people who have run this machine liked and disliked about it.I bought one about three years ago to use on my farm and am very pleased with it.
I bought a 16B last summer, it was not my first choice for a bigger dozer, but it is what I found, and the price was right. My machine is in great condition the meter says 3300 hours and there are some signs that it may be correct. I haven’t put a lot of hours on it yet, but so far it has burned the tips off of two injectors, easy enough to fix, but finding parts took a couple weeks. Aside from that it has been a couple hoses so can't really complain for a machine of that age. The issue that concerns me with it now is that it smokes excessively. White smoke still runs great, lots of power, but lots of smoke. The water stays up, and no bubbles in it. It also has a hard time starting in even mildly cold weather; I just hope it's not low compression.
