Where a specific Cat GC25K lands in its band
Records add 10–15% — a documented service file beats a mystery meter every time. Hours beat age: a low-hour older unit routinely outsells a hard-run newer one. Check the powerplant cold and the hydraulics under load — the full protocol lives in the 12-point inspection checklist and the battery guide. Tires, fork heels, and mast condition move the last few percent — price every finding into the offer.
