    Deere 450 or 650?? First Dozer

    They still do, but it's not really a tag. All you have to tell the trooper is that you are hauling to your farm. No stopping at weigh stations etc, and you must be within 350 miles of you farm or address on DL.

    1974 case 450

    Was that the dozer that was on CraigsList a few weeks ago in Crestview? If so it's going to need a ton of $$ to fix up. The one I looked at need a new water pump, u/c and clutches.

    Poly tanks for fuel?

    Keep the tanks out of sunlight. We've used the 250g tanks for septic systems at our hunting camp for 6 yrs so far without a problem. The extra one we had left out in the elements cracked and was useless in 1 1/2 yrs.

    Digging a pond:

    The dam was but 30 years ago. About 10 years of neglect and a cloged spill way cause the dam to give way. About 5 years ago it was rebuilt, but the drain pipe was only 6"PVC and no spill way. The pond is fed by a spring and filled up along with heavy rains and no spill way it gave way again...

    Digging a pond:

    We are in the process of purchasing a small dozer. We are looking at a Allis Chalmer 653. We have a few ponds that the earth dams gave way over the years and want to rebuild them. Is a Allis Chalmer 653 with 8' blade enough to work with or should we be looking for a JD450 or Cat D4. Price is...
