Got a chance to buy 3 Caterpillars for only $5000 should I bite or should I steer clear. Here is the pictures of them. https://greatfalls.craigslist.org/for/d/choteau-cat-d4-and-cat-d6/7307524186.html https://billings.craigslist.org/hvo/d/caterpillar-6-dozer-bulldozer/7294867495.html
Buy them all, they look like they're in good shape.
Let's add up the consensus and make a decision from there. After all scrap metal prices are $140 a ton but doesn't cover the fuel prices to haul them home and in to scrap yard.
Looks good to me. Added bonus of #46 Hydraulic Control on the D6 and two valve #44 on the D4. Do they run?
According to the ad the D6 with D4 does and the D6 without a blade does. What is the weight of these things, seeing here 16 to 18 tons a piece is that true?
No. Newer 6's are 32K, like the 6c. Those old ones are lighter. I am seeing 18K for the ag machine, and maybe 23K for the one with the blade. Very moveable for you!

Bare D6 is about 17,000 lbs. Bare D4 is about 10,000 lbs.
Apparently it's a scam listing in some sort of sense as it turns out to be fake on both of them Anyways I found this locally, should I just steer clear? https://www.bismanonline.com/hysham_mt/international_td20b_bulldozers
If you have to ask,,,,,, you BETTER stay clear!
