What the specifications mean

The published 14 values remain attached to their stated configuration and rating basis.

14 — Dimensions table reference tires; front tire to rear of machine unless push plate/ripper explicitly included. Width over front tires with moldboard angled for travel.

An individual machine must be verified by serial/PIN, installed equipment and actual measurements.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.

Used 14 inspection priorities

Measure circle, drawbar, saddle and moldboard wear through the full range of motion.
Inspect tandem cases, articulation, wheel lean, steering and tire condition.
Verify AWD and grade-control functions only when physically installed and operational.
Match the 14 model plate, fitted attachment and undercarriage to the cited reference configuration.

Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.

Hours, condition and ownership cost

Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.

Cost drivers to model

Circle and drawbar wear can materially change repair exposure and grading accuracy.
Tires, tandem drive, front axle and hydraulic functions need separate reserves.
Technology packages require hardware, calibration, subscriptions and support checks.

Attachment considerations

Relationships below identify relevant classes only unless a stronger evidence state is shown. They never assert exact used-attachment fitment.
