Still getting the details but it looks like a good deal on small loader/backhoe combo, six or so years old. (Not sure on the model, I think it's a 1700)
To me a diesel with 800 hours, if it's been serviced, is just getting started, but I'm grew up on a big Texas farm and we'd run our big tractors 5000 hours before selling them.
But on a backhoe/loader rig what should I look for to avoid problems? I'll check the wear points (pivots, etc) but would appreciate any pointers on other not so obvious things that might be going bad.
