Model Guides
Each guide covers a machine from the inside — generation history, variant differences, emissions systems, and what to check before you view. Written for buyers, not manufacturers.
How to use model guides
Each guide maps which generation was built when, what changed between them, and why it matters for a used purchase.
DPF, EGR, Tier 3 / Tier 4 Interim / Stage V — what each generation has, what to verify, and what to avoid.
FL vs F, GC vs standard, wheeled vs crawler — variant distinctions that affect asking price and suitability.
Machine-specific checks prioritised by known failure points — what to look at before you travel to view.
Published asking-price reports
Model guides are written independently — not commissioned by manufacturers, dealers, or importers. The goal is buyer context: what to look for, what to avoid, and how different generations and variants compare in the used market.
Guides are cross-referenced with active asking-price data where reports exist. Inspection checklists reflect known failure points for each model family, not generic advice.
