I am finally on the hunt for my first dozer. I intend to push over several hundred Eastern Red Cedar trees, clear a mile of fence line and possibly build a pond or two. I have allergies and think having a cab would save me a lot of tissue money. I have been mainly focusing on Cat and Deere in the 70 to 100 hp range.
When I come across one like this http://www.ironplanet.com/jsp/s/item/387820?h=2-1,gotoPage I wonder if something with undercarriage so far gone indicates a general lack of overall care. Do you just walk away? Could you get a machine like this, have it restored and still come out ok?

. We do have a HEF member in your neck of woods that has a mulcher or tree clipper. Don't remember which. For what you're gonna pay for a "well used " machine you could clip a lot of cedars. I realize that may not solve your fence line issues though.
