What the specifications mean

The typically equipped transport reference includes a push block and ripper. Moldboard width and machine width are different dimensions.

A construction-grader reference where control choice, AWD and attachments can materially affect the package.

Alternatives worth comparing

These are research paths, not interchangeable configurations or a ranked winner.

Blade pull is not a prediction of material moved or finished surface quality. Verify controls, tires and fitted grade equipment before comparing the operator package.

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

Used 140 inspection priorities

Inspect circle, drawbar, moldboard slides, articulation and tandem components; verify the installed control and grade-technology package.
Record the exact serial/PIN, installed options and inspection limitations. These are purchase inspection priorities, not claims of a model-specific failure pattern.

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

Model road-maintenance versus finish-grading utilization, blade wear and attachment needs with the actual drivetrain configuration.
Use the ownership calculator with quoted repairs, actual scheduled hours, utilization and transport costs; leave unknown assumptions visible.
