Hey guys, I'm new here although I've been reading through old posts for several months now. I'm looking to buy a small grader to keep on my farm, most likely 10' moldboard. I'd love to have a Fiat Allis M65 but they are generally a bit more expensive than I'm wanting to spend. Occasionally I'll come across a Gallion 503, an Allis Chalmers DD or some lesser known stuff. I've looked at some Cat 112E and 112F. Here's the question; what is the difference (other than age) between the 112E and 112F? I realize that these are mechanical instead of hydraulic and that has both positives and negatives. Is it safe to say that the main advantage of the Cat is parts availability? This will be a machine that will get about 20 hours per year put on it. Thanks for any and all advice.
