Pay particular attention to the tracks. Also the bogie wheels and drive sprockets. On a blade dozer the drive sprockets almost always wear on the back side of the teeth. That is the side that is trying to push the tracks while backing up the tractor. They very seldom wear as badly on the front side of the teeth because the sprockets are pulling the tracks rather than pushing. This wear from backing up is also increased by the tendancy for the tractor to be normally backed up hills instead of pushing material up hills. Not as much of a concern with bucket loaders. But be aware.
