Do you just have to buy a Cat. The Volvo articulated trucks have always had Cat beat in design, performance, and reliability. I would suggest a Volvo A25.

I've got a d25d and a d300b. The d25 is really nimble and has been very reliable. A couple of drawbacks are that the top speed is considerably slower than the d300 and carry back seems to hurt the capacity more. It also seems to be a little less stable than the 6 wheel design. But all of that considered, I think the cheaper price of the d25 is worth it's shortcomings, especially for a low use machine.
