First post but been lurking for awhile now and learning a whole lot. I am looking to buy a dozer in the 75 hp range. Never owned a dozer but I have a tractor and backhoe that I use to maintain my 160 acres that was partially logged of planted pines and now has some growth of brush up to about 4"-6" that I want to clean up and burn.
I am currently looking at a Komatsu D31P machine, 1984 model with 4100 hours on it. Plan on going to look at it soon. I would like to hear any particulars I should look for. The seller said it has 3 bad rollers that he has purchased but not installed. What kind of job am I looking at to install the rollers?
I have seen other Komatsu's that have more numbers after the D31P like -17 and -21. Can anyone tell me how to interpret these numbers and offer any good sites for research on these machines?
Thanks
