First time posting but I have been reading your advice for a while now.
I am looking at buying a Case 310G bulldozer loader to do some work on my 9 acres. It will be used to dig out for a driveway 12' x 225' and about 9" deep, along with grading and removing stumps from about a half acre cleared area. I have probably at least 2 dozen stumps that are 8" in diameter or less that I would like to push out. I have more clearing to do before we start building our house so it will be nice to have some equipment (so far I have done everything with my chainsaw and a sickle). I used to be a mechanic before becoming an engineer so I am mechanically inclined and will be able to do field repairs that don't require extensive equipment. The guy selling this dozer said the bushings and pins will need to be replaced in the not so distant future, and the steering brakes need replacing because it doesn't steer too well but he said its not too hard to replace those, he did them the last time they needed replacing about 15 years ago. He said undercarriage is good and was all rebuilt back in the 80s, engine was rebuilt in the 90s, hydraulics leak slightly and it has a gas engine. The dozer has been used on their farm doing light work since the 70s. I was wondering what your guys thoughts are on this machine? I don't have a large budget to spend on equipment right now, which is why I'm looking at equipment this cheap. When I go look at it, what are some other things to check out? He is asking $3,000 OBO, to rent a Deere 450K for a weekend I was quoted $1,850. I included a link to the craigslist posting.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
