That Cummins should be a great motor.

Looks big heavy and odd stance but never met a Tucker I didn’t like!

I'm not going to say I bleed orange, but the design simplicity and availability of parts for Tuckers is a big factor. That looks like a very nice setup; hauls more people (and probably more comfortably, too) six-way blade and a pretty big bed. What's not to like? I also like the rubber belts and grousers, as opposed to Terra tracks, due to the cost of Terra tracks should they get damaged.

My impression is that it's an older, cab forward style machine. How many hours, recent maintenance performed, condition of idler wheels, damper wheels, drive sprockets, etc? I recently priced those items from Tucker and they are substantially more expensive than I remember. Substantially!

That's also a big, and long, machine. I'm curious as to both the overall length and the weight. For a long time 1600 series carriers were asymmetric, with one end being longer than the other, and the long end was positioned away from the center of the machine. That Tucker's carriers look like they're symmetric, and yet there's a big gap between the front and rear tracks... indicating it's long.

Darn nice machine!!!

Last of the narrow cab Tucker 2000's. Have never seen one with that big of a cab. I'll bet they didn't make very many like that. With a blade it will weigh in close to 16000 lbs and with 28" tracks might have some trouble staying on top. It looks to be in mint condition for a 25 year old cat.
However if you are going all the way to Oregon to look at it you might check out this one. Lots of power and wide tracks

Did some work for a power company that had a tucker like the one your looking at,can't remember anywhere we couldn't get to in that cat. It was after a large storm with snow over the tracks and they only needed the blade on side hills to cut a flat spot for the uphill track,AND loaded with climbing gear for 5 people and a replacement generator on the back. {But no stereo }
