I have a 580C Case backhoe/loader in good shape. Have been thinking about selling and converting funds into purchase of a small dozer. Two questions: (l) What's a good estimate on the value of the 580C? Has 12" and 24" buckets. Forward/reverse shuttle. Hydraulics work great (one cylinder on loader tilt leaks a little), front and rear rubber 75%, pins are "good". Engine is solid - no oil use - no leaks - starts easy - no smoke after warm up or under load - rear end/transmission good - paint better than fair - loader bucket in good condition (not bent or distorted) - new battery (needs alternator work) - new brake components (but brakes barely work).
(2) Anyone have any experience with the NorTrac 30HP diesel dozer sold by Northern Tool? Has 3 cylinder diesel engine, 540/1000 RPM PTO, 64 1/2" wide by 26" high six-way dozer blade (20" lift and down dig 8"), 1.3 gallon per hour fuel consumption, 10ft. by 10 inch steel tracks, ROPS, 8/2 speed manual transmission, and six months limited parts and labor warranty. Free shipping. Fully assembled. $15,000. What do you guys think? I'm in central Oklahoma. Thanks. bob farrell

Thanks for all the comments. Think I'll pass and keep looking for a "brand name" used one. Thanks ! Bob Farrell

For 20K my friend bought a decent working D6 CAT dozer a year ago.

For a little less money, you can get a good 40 HP Mitsubishi or Komatsu, and have a lot better unit. And one of the biggest dealers of the used units is in Noble, OK. Call Joel at 1-405-550-1818. Tell him the guy he beat out on Ebay on the Misubishi in Seattle referred you.

I think those dozers are made in china. So you will get the typical china quality, no resale value and in a few years you will most likely not be able to find parts. Buy a larger used skidsteer and put a set of tracks on it. It will do more work and have resale value and you will be able to get parts.

I think those are built by Jinma and labeled Nortrack for Northern Tool. Size wise, might consider a dozer blade on a utility tractor or or a skid steer with tracks. Seen a few lately in that price range. They have had a few minor trobles from what I read elsewhere. Cant find the link right off, might google it.

I would say you could find an older international of JD in a small size that will actually have a resale value when you are done with it.
