I Think it's a decent deal. Only thing comparable that I see online in age, hours and price are a few rough looking rental units. If it's a clean, private owner, well maintained machine I especially don't think you got hurt by any means. They appear to always have favorable reviews and I know their mini ex's are top notch. I know there's a lot of opinions on every brand but I've read of several Takeuchi owners that have had other brands and say it the best skid steer they've owned. I think the Yanmar engine will give you thousands of hours of trouble free service as well. Looks like there's plenty of them out there with 4-5000 hrs on them and apparently still running strong...at least for the prices they're asking, they should be. It's apples and oranges but a friend just rolled 12,000 hrs. on one of his Yanmar engine pieces of Deere commercial equipment. 70% on the tracks sounds reasonable as well....I cringe every time I see the prices on replacements. Seems like everything I've read is that most of the "cheap" ( that's a subjective word in this case...even they are expensive) aftermarket tracks don't get nearly as many hours out of them as the better brands and the OEM's. Good track and undercarriage condition would be high on my list as positives.
