Been kicking around getting an older skid steer to tinker on the farm with and came across one listed for sale by the owner's son. It is a 1996 Bobcat 853H with tires that have about 200 hours on them. The machine looks used which it should for a 96 with the fluids and filters just changed. The hour meter in the picture shows 196 hours and that has to be a broken or replaced hour meter on such an older machine. I have communicated via e-mail with the son who doesn't seem to know much about it other than he has operated it and said to contact his dad for more info. I have not done so as I'm not familiar at all with a skid steer and wondering what the price on one as this may be? I understand that is a question that can't be definite without knowing the machines actual condition but are there things I should look for specifically IF I go check it out? I'm trying to get some idea of it without having to drive an hour one way to see it without a clue about such. The son states his dad bought a bigger one and is selling this and has it priced from $15000 down to $14000 as of now. Not knowing anything about these skid steers this seems kind of high priced for such an older machine and appears to be higher than a 60 HP tractor of similar age would be.
