Good day,

If anyone has a good used CAT tetragage for sale please inform me, if brand new for cheaper than dealer price that'll be great too.

Best regards,

You would be better off just buying three gauges with connectors. Put the high 8,000 psi one on first then step down to the proper pressure gauge when you know its safe. The pressure cut off valve inside of it is the expensive part.

This is true, but some time you will have a circuit that might be in the range of one of the lower gauges at idle but jump up to the higher ranges when under load. Also with the three gauge set up you don't have to stop and switch from one to the other.

I just checked our price at Cat on the 6V7830, I know why you were asking about a good used one, $715.00!

I would look at a Stauff digital gauge. They are suited to both of these situations of being able to handle the high pressure, and read high and low pressure on the same circuit. Should be cheaper than a Cat tetragauge.

See these links for more detail:
