Well... Been there. How much work would $10K hire done? Sounds like money tossed away I know but the initial cost of a crawler is the tip of the iceburg. They are spendy and heavy machines to maintain. If you have a lot of your own time I sugest you buy, use then sell a near new machine. I have seen way to many people start up with this idea and have to hire someone to clean up their mess. A good dozer man can do in a day what a beginner can do in a month and the pond will hold water too. JMHO
I usaully don't respond negatively to an iron purchase and crawlers are cool and fun but they seem to me to be something either you are really serious about long term usage, or to play with. The inbetweens seem to end up behind barns waiting for eventual salvage.
Probably I'll get a lot of negative feed back on this but really I am trying to look out for your best interest. Get a quote. Think hard on what you are willing and capable of doing. After the big work is done and you want a crawler to keep things up I think that'd be cool. Good luck to you what ever you decide!
