Farms and Farm Machinery

Built to scale

Based at Yandina on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, Makin Traks has been in the business of selling premium second-hand dozers for about 10 years – with over 1,200 sold so far.

While the company has recently branched out into selling refurbished John Deeres and Komatsus, most units sold are Caterpillar dozers, ranging from the 77.6kW (104 horsepower) D3 model to the 283kW (380hp) D8 model.

Scale says the Cat D6 is his most popular model – large enough to be highly productive and small enough to fit on a truck bed.
