Hello, It is my first post on this section of the forum. I am considering buying a Kubota KX41 (1996--not series 2) for general landscaping, small stumps, digging along foundations and trenching work. It has 3600 hours and seems to have had reasonable maintenance--the company has owned it since new and they recently bought a new Kubota.
There are lots of extras that will come with the machine, a trailer, a new seat (they got it and never got around to putting it in the machine), some spare filters, and 5 buckets ranging from 20 cm to 60cm.
For the money that I have this is about the vintage of machine that I am looking at. I have seen a Yanmar B17 (1995; 3700 hrs) for about the same money (it is a lot further away).
My question is this--in inspecting this is there anything that I should be looking for that will indicate wear or expensive repair? I looked at it casually once, but would like advice on what I should look for specifically. Any advice?
