This exact spec SU tilt, sweeps, rear screen, MS ripper, ARO wired is genuinely hard to find. Ready to earn from day one.

Why the SU Tilt Blade matters: The Semi-Universal (SU) blade is the production operators choice it combines the material-carrying capacity of a universal blade with the penetration and pushing power of a straight blade. Bigger loads, better material retention on the blade, and serious volume-pushing capability. Add the hydraulic tilt and you have a dozer set up to move dirt fast and grade accurately. This is the blade configuration that civil contractors and bulk earthworks operators specifically ask for. Why ARO Wired matters: This machine is Attachment Ready Option (ARO) wired from the factory meaning the wiring loom, brackets and mounts for a GPS grade-control system are already in place. When youre ready to add Trimble, Topcon or Cat grade control, its a plug-and-play upgrade rather than a costly full retrofit. That saves you $5,000-$8,000+ in wiring and installation versus a non-wired machine, and makes this dozer far more valuable to a contractor planning to run GPS.
