I bought my d6c for 10000 I cleared my land of stumps and decide to build my pond myself im just a rookie the d6c was my first time to its a learning experience for sure but a good one the company's I called. I told them tomuch so i bought the dozer. they told me 25000 to 35000 for clearing the land. I finished the land clearing 2 years did it for about 15000 ten for dozer 5 for fuel and brake downs so I did it for less than half than I decided to build my pond called some companys. They told me 10 to 15000. I did it for 4500 and still have the dozer if u got alot of work u might be better off buying a used old dozer to learn on and to work on the farm with u could do work for neighbours too to help cost might be an idea to think about
