Buyer and Fleet Checklist
Before You Use These Specs
Transport Planning
Confirm weight, width, height, bucket or blade removal, counterweight, shoe width, tire package, permits, and trailer capacity against the actual machine configuration.
Attachment Matching
Check hydraulic flow, relief pressure, coupler style, case drain, return filtration, tool control, lifting limits, and dealer-approved attachment charts.
Cost Per Hour
Build the hourly rate from fuel, DEF, preventive maintenance, wear parts, tires or undercarriage, repairs, depreciation, finance cost, insurance, and utilization.
Spec Accuracy
Use the source link and configuration note as the starting point, then verify serial range and local-market literature before purchase, repair, hauling, or bid work.
