That is the exact one! Do you think 912 hours is any sign of overuse?
Look at the end of the dipper stick and also top end of the left side of the boom ULIAM both have been cracked/broken and re welded with plates.
Just something to be aware of.

Well the dipper stick is what attaches to the bucket. It looks like the point just above the bucket was repaired.

If you follow the dipper stick up to the next piece is the boom, there also appears to be a repair plate welded on the left side. 1:38 in the video. not as sure on the bucket end of the dipper stick

If the video is correct on the hydraulics there is a plugged filter , low fluid or something wrong with the system. Very slow and jerky.

I am not afraid of welded .repaired backhoes, but it does lower resale and means the machine was probably pushed to it's limits more than once.

Only noticed because I bought a hard worked mid sized TLB with quite a few weld repairs. So I tend to look for them . You asked about prices for full size units, mine was just under what is being asked for this compact unit. Figure it was 60 cents a pound.

Fascinating. I must disclose to you that that video is not the one I’m buying the one I’m buying seems to have nothing wrong with it on the boom or the dipper.
