BEst advice that i can give is buy something that ya can still get parts for and in all the years i have been around heavy equipment the Allis are the ones that were always broke down . I my younger years i worked for a vary large constuction co. and we had every make of equipment that was made at the time and we had some HD 16's and HD 21's and they were what seamed like always down along with the I.H.'s The Cat's would seam to go longer before they would go down , but it is like this if man made it it will break . If myself was going out to get a dozer to play with and depending on what size job i was tryen to do ever since i parked my Arrs on a John Deere 750 back in 77 i have realy like them it was the first dozer that i ever ran that would work as fast as i like to work , now one thing that i did learn about them is that for some reason that there seams to be hard to find two that run the same . The first one i put almost 2400 hours on it in 6 months working in the oil patch and i know some smart arrs is going to ask if i slept on it and the answer is yes there were a lot of days that i was out on the job nostop for two to three days at a stretch and found that the hood was about the best place to catch twenty winks . Plum wore out the under carrage on it and replaced it with SALT track . One tought machine cutting in lease roads building locations and pullen in and out everything from drillen rigs to farc crews and at time we would do 4 frac's a day now thats a lot of pullen and pushen and moving . THe one grew cheif or pusher for Halliburton would alway have me get him and his crew in and out of locations as he told me that i was twice as fast as then DARN SLOW OLD Cats and he never ever saw anybody pull two trucks and push one like i did . So i gave my preferance for a dozer that will clear land and dig ponds and handel like a skidsteer , Now ya would want limb risers a stright blade with tilt and a , as far as i am concerned a Hyster W6F winch with 1 1/8 cable on her and realy good deep grousers . THis machine is rated to be at the D 5 Cat level but will out do any D6D that i ever came across and run wright with a darn GOOD D7.
