The 2008 D9T Caterpillar Track Dozer

The D9T Dozer (48 tonne, 434hp engine), a solid piece of Machinery. Widely used within the Mining Sector, however, is now becoming more popular in the Agricultural scene for land clearing and stick racking. A reasonably well-maintained piece up to 10 years old can achieve anywhere between S400,000 and $650,000, depending on the condition, hours worked and attachments. The machine in the picture was purchased for 5425,000 with a further approximately $180,000 spent on upgrades. However, if you have some extra cash lying around a new model will set you back a lazy SI.5 million (Courtesy: Hasting Deering). To truck one of these machines about 300 kilometres you are looking between S8,000 to S12,000. Again, depending on the attachments involved.

And no, I didn’t intentionally wear knee high white shorts and deck shoes to value the D9T Caterpillar Track Dozer in the middle of a paddock. The situation just arose.
