When they were new they were somewhat OK what i found were they were jerky a little to light but ok for light grading and finish grading . Now today parts are hard to come by problems with brakes . and a under carriage that that will vapor loc ya at the cost of repairs . And with old construction equipment that is or has been setting for a LONG time there is a reason why it is setting . Sooooooo if you don't know much about them before you dive in with both feet one would be ahead of the game to find someone that works on them and pay them to go look it over first. and even he may miss something . as that cheap price may end up costing you five times what you paid for it to get to make it run and use. Also here there is no ROPS on that machine , no limb risers and no seat belt . And for a novice they can be and are dangerous . And more then likely your wanting to go clear brush and trees and this is the last place one want to learn how to run one even if it has a rops and limb risers or go playing in the spooky old woods. One maybe ahead of the game to take the money and HIRE a PRO Just to do the work. Just sayen here . My one close friend needed a site built for his new cattle barn and got three bids for the project , he then asked me what it would take and how long to do the job . Lots of dirt to move and what it would take to do the job . I told him and he went and rented a 750 Deere dozer for a week First day we had problems with the rented machine and only got in three hours of work i had the job done in three and a half days and for far less then the lowest bid by 10000 bucks , one machine one experienced operator . And no repair cost just the rental and fuel. Then the rental company knocked off some of the rental because we cleaned the dozer up when we re done and sent it back full of fuel and greased ready to go to the next guy and he was told that any time he needed a rental he would get a preferred rate . Vernon talked about buying at one point and i asked him WHY buy old and then throw more money into repairs and upkeep for something you mqay only use for a 50-100 hours a year when ya can rent Newer and deduct on taxes . twice now he has rented and twice he calls and i go run it .

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
