Dont loose too much sleep over it, it is because you have not got enough posts. Drop one of the admin staff a message and ask them to move it to equipment for sale or where they think it will fit best.

Same suggestion fiat41b, I think you probably need to be in the office for the best chance of a response.

Both Welcome aboard BTW.

11r is my new fav dozer, big, cumbersome and slow but it can move alot of dirt, plus all the fancy electronic **** gives me plenty of time to catch my artist alerts on my satelite radio. and yes rop a few more years of running these new machines and ill be a champion thumb wrestler. its got to be the easiest dozer in the world to run, operating it to its full potential takes time, two years and i think im getting closer, if you have ever run a smaller dozer much running a bigger one is simple.

D10T, D9T and the D8N. In that order.

Easy one. D8H 300 Horse, D7E High Horse. Have both. Use them for both dozing and pulling Cat pans. Great machines, very dependable and a joy to run.

Mine, if it was paid for.

hello there. i am new to the heavy equipment world, but have always liked large machines. sadly the only thing i have any seat time in is an old jd 455 crawler/loader. we'll have to work on that in the future.

anyway, fellow one another forum i frequent has an old international dozer for sale that is currently not running. says he had it running about 1-1.5 years ago, but has not been cranked since then. attached is a picture.

can anyone give me any more information? according to the fellow, it is a TD25 and weighs around 45K. any idea how much it may be worth, scrap or otherwise. i really have no use for a machine that big, but could have some fun, clean up a little bit of acreage, and then resell it.

As much as I love the IH's, that looks like a TD25B powershift, the U/C looks used up judging by how far out front the idler is and still slop in the tracks and the 817 was a great engine but can break the bank if theres problems........I'd run away fast........

D8T with trimble GPS GCS900

to much electronic garbage on t series Cats. I have seen R's and T's both loose their minds and need to be completly reprogramed. GPS is nice but my operators all have to show me they can do it without it first cause sooner or later it will quit.
