How Selling Your Caterpillar Works
Two ways to sell: a cash offer from HeavyDutyYard on some machines, or a free marketplace listing.
Send the details

We reply within one business day
Some machines get a cash offer from HeavyDutyYard. If we don't buy yours, we can list it free on the HeavyDutyYard Marketplace.
Sell it your way
Take our offer and we coordinate transport from your site. Or list it: we review the listing and screen buyer messages, and you deal with the buyer directly.
What Affects a Caterpillar Excavator's Value
Four things move the price of a used Caterpillar excavator the most.
Operating Hours
Lower hours mean less wear on the engine, hydraulics and undercarriage, so low-hour machines sell for more.
Year of Manufacture
Newer models hold value better, especially post-2015 machines with Tier 4 Final emissions compliance.
Condition & Maintenance
Service records, undercarriage wear (on track machines) and cosmetic condition all affect price.
Configuration & Attachments
Buckets, blades, thumbs, rippers and factory options add value. List everything that goes with the machine.
