Solid, honest Cat 428C with very low hours for its age, showing ~755 hours.
This is a straight, mechanically simple machine that presents well and is ideal for property work, trenching or general earthmoving.
Machine has seen light use over its life and has been working a rural property for the last 4 years. Paint and panels show normal wear consistent with age, but overall it is tidy and not abused.
