Got to put the little FD5 into service this weekend. Hopefully I can keep the place up and take my game management to a whole new level.

I'm jealous. I'd love to have such a machine.

Congrats, you will be amazed at what you can do. I kept one 6 years and did a lot of land clearing and put firelanes everywhere I might ever need one. I really miss having it, but keeping it up became too big of a job for an old man.

Those are dang good tractors, I ran one for a while, wiring harnesses and a couple of turbos is the only problem I ever know that tractor to have. I know the guy that bought it, has over 12,000 hours on it now.
But yeah they are not cheap to run, I'm running a 650j now and a Cat D5k2, the Cat is having pins and bushings turned now with new sprockets, bout $6,000, and people wonder why dozer work ain't cheap

Definitely keep an close eye on the wear on the pins, bushings, and sprockets. Also do a cursory check on the rollers and idlers periodically. Like anything else, maintenance is the key. It's way cheaper to replace or turn a worn part than it is to run it to failure. Undercarriages can get very expensive. If the undercarriage is currently in good shape and you're using it for just recreational, non-commercial use, you should be in good shape for a long long time. Congrats on the purchase, I would love to have one to use on my property full time. Just guessing at what you'll be using it for, I'd highly recommend finding a good used root rake that'll fit it.

You make some good points, however, I'm good, I know a guy.

central ala,
Are the side covers factory? Mine has expanded metal over a little bit I assume for heat release and allows a little visual inspection.

No BS, plan an escape routine for yellow jackets/hornets. I know just turn key off, jump, and run for me.

I put a couple of bags like the saddle bags on 4 wheelers on the inside of mine for Gatorade, flagging tape, snack, etc.

Because of leaves and debris that gets inside the covers, a small fire extinguisher should be readily available. I drop my belly pans ever winter and clean everything out. A ton of dirt and debris.

WEAR EAR PLUGS!! Noise not that bad but it is continuous.

Side covers are factory. I plan on mounting a fire extinguisher on it.

I know a guy that ran one for APCO. He would wear a full beekeeper suit in the middle of summer to guard against yellow jackets.

I'd love to have one as well, but after buying it and keeping up with the maintenance, i would come out way ahead just hiring what i need done. Nice looking machine, 2dogs.

Very good point. There will always be a need for a dozer. But after you get your property the way you want it, it probably make sense to sell it and about 1 week a year have someone tidy up some. Save money overall. Same goes for people buying a tractor just for food plots. Cheaper to pay someone. But sure is convenient to just hop on it and do what you need.

if I hit one of those huge lotteries I'd buy a dozer, till then I'll rent one for a weekend. I ran one for a living just out of college and can rent one for $400 er so for two days(8hours). Get everything done I need done.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
