I've been looking at buying a dozer and really don't know a whole lot about them. I've narrowed my search down to a 550H or a 450J deere dozer. Anything specifically someone should look for other than the undercarriage and typical leaks? TIA

THOSE ARE BOTH GOOD MODELS. I WAS GOING TO SAY STAY WITH THE "H" SERSIES OR NEWER SO YOU HAVE HYDROSTATIC DRIVE. THE 450 IS A BIT SMALL, YOU COULD THE SAME WORK WITH A LARGE BOBCAT. UNDER CARRAGE IS THE BIGGEST THINK. GET THE UNIT HOT WHEN TEST DRIVING AND WORK IT IF POSSIBLE, MAKE SURE NO LEAKS AND NOTHING SLOWS DOWN. ALSO GREASE ZERKS MAKE SURE ALL TAKE. PLAY OR SLOP IN THE PUSH BLADE. AND ITS SHIFTS THROUGH ALL THE GEARS WHEN HOT. YES SERVICE RECORDS ARE NICE. BUT A GOOD LOOK OVER ON AN OLDER UNIT IS JUST AS GOOD.
