Importance of Inspection to Avoid Costly Undercarriage Repair and Rebuild

29 Jan 2020  •  Dennis Howard
An undercarriage inspection is crucial when searching for a used dozer. Why?

They look at components and point out some undercarriage repair points and other areas that have not yet been replaced to help understand the remaining life expectancy of the undercarriage and what may be costly in the near future.
