This is my first thread, but I have been looking over site for a while and have found some good information here.
I just purchased a 1990 Case 602bd roller at and auction in Ohio and have to wire money next week. I am wondering if any one has one of these and what can they tell me. The machine has a 70" single smooth drum and around 3000 hours on it. I have shopped for this for some time and found this comparable machine under 25k very hard to find. I hate to spend that much on a roller but we do need it for the site work we do. Any info would be great even if it is not about a Case machine but other types of machines.
Do you think that 70" or 84" is better?
Do you find rollers to be at a high cost of ownership?
Do you find that rollers are going for big money at sales and dealers lots?
Do you think a pad foot is better, ( my thinking is that I can't prep crusher run with pad foot)?
Any other suggestions?
Thank you.
