Hi and a happy upcoming new year to all.
I've a line on a used B2150HSD (oh how the requisite size of my toy has grown) w/ the Kubota 60" belly mower and LA350 FEL for just under $12k. 400 hours, one owner, stored indoors.
Looks good from the pictures so seems like a pretty reasonable price. Comments ?
Anyway here's the kicker - the FEL bucket has a 5 inch crack near the middle of the bucket which the owner intends to have fixed. I can easily imagine closing a crack with a weld or a welded plate, but can anyone tell me if this is really sufficient or what a proper repair would be ? I'd hate to have a bucket fail while lifting some heavy load. Potential horror story.
Are all 2150HSDs 4wd ? Just what do all the letters after the model really mean (HSD, HSE, HSB, HST, DT) ? OK H seems to be hydro but the rest is a mystery.
-thanks,
Steve
