Re: DEF fluid in heavy equipment !!
I've been casually shopping for a 35mt track hoe for the last yr, some Ritchie Bros auctions lately have had some 10 to 15,000hr JD350's on the lots & to my surprise the hoes have been selling in the $50 - 80k range... I would have thought equipment would have gotten cheaper by now with the $barrel of oil so low for the last yr, the patch has almost come to a halt in my area! But it's likely the contractors are trying to avoid buying new tier 4 garbage.
8 - 15yo trucks are going the same way, selling for more than double what they should be b/c tier 4 emissions is crap right off the lot!
