Moldboard condition, circle wear, articulation, tandem drive and grade-control equipment deserve close attention. All-wheel drive, front attachments and ripper/scarifier packages can materially change suitability.

Specifications that matter
Specification
Why it matters
Operating weight
Defines machine class, transport exposure and stability context.
Horsepower
Compare the same power rating standard and the demands of the intended work.
Moldboard length
Must suit the material, work envelope, machine geometry and configuration.
All-wheel drive
Compare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone.
Circle and sideshift
Compare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone.
Ripper/scarifier
Check the fitted tool, mounting points and hydraulic controls against the material to loosen.
Grade-control system
Confirm installed hardware, software access and compatibility with your site workflow.
Before buying used
Measure circle, drawbar and moldboard play
Inspect tandem cases and articulation joints
Confirm steering modes, hydraulic functions and electronic controls
