Background

• Origin: Purchased in 2009 by Horizon Earthworks, a mid-sized construction firm in central Kansas, for large-scale grading and compaction projects.
• Primary Use: Deployed in 2010–2012 for a highway expansion project, compacting subbase and base layers across 25 miles of roadbed, logging 1,200 hours in soft to medium clay soils.
• Workload: Used intermittently from 2013–2018 for commercial site prep (600 hours), including shopping center and warehouse foundations, where its chevron-patterned tamping feet ensured high-density compaction.
• Recent Use: Since 2019, employed sparingly for municipal projects (323 hours), such as landfill compaction and levee reinforcement, with regular maintenance keeping it in top shape.
• Operator: Maintained and operated by an experienced employee who followed Cat’s service schedule, including oil changes, filter replacements, and hydraulic system checks every 250 hours as company requirements.
• Storage: Kept under cover in Horizon’s equipment yard, protecting the closed cab’s electronics and climate control system from weather exposure.
• Reason for Sale: Horizon upgraded to newer Cat models in 2024, making this low-hour 815F surplus; its 2,123 hours reflect careful use and consistent upkeep.
• Condition Notes: Vibrant yellow paint, minimal wear on pads, clean cab with functional AC and VIMS monitoring system, fully serviced with new hydraulic fluid and filters, ready to hit the worksite.
