What Affects Your Caterpillar Skid Steer's Value
Our offers are based on real market data. These four factors have the biggest impact on what we can offer for your Caterpillar.
Operating Hours
Lower hours command a premium. Machines under 2,000 hours typically fetch 20–40% more than high-hour units.
Year of Manufacture
Newer models generally hold value better, especially post-2015 machines with Tier 4 Final emissions compliance.
Condition & Maintenance
Service records, fresh undercarriage (on track machines), and cosmetic condition all meaningfully affect your offer.
Configuration & Attachments
Additional buckets, blades, thumbs, and factory options add to the offer. Don't leave attachments off your submission.
