Buying Advice ANother what do i do

Oh NO!
I must be facing BIG trouble!
Each of my 3 old Fords sit for about 10 months every year (with battery tender attached).
Now I learn that "sitting around an awful lot" is about to kill them!
I have owned one for 46 years, another for 30 years (but is 47 years old), and the 3rd for only 3 years, but it is 29 years old, and has only 1000 hours (I use each of my Fords less than 15 hours per year).
They are not rotting away yet!

Well, you got me there! :thumbsup: But you know what they say concerning staying active instead of sitting around all the time. I know that's true for an old coot like me, and I've concluded it also applies to equipment in some degree. Actually, I've got a '49 Farmall M that mostly just sits, like your Fords. And guess what? It always did leak some (when you get old, that happens), but there are more leaks every year I have it.

Pricing seems high on both, especially the BobCat, Offer Tops, 10K. I'd Keep shopping! Consider Craig's List.

Agree. Price is too high for both. 10 grand might be a little low on the bobcat, but not far off. Kioti should be worth no more than 14,500, even at the stealership.

I don't think the CK35 has the final tier emissions and should be the same machine as the bobcat with a different loader. Out of what is described I would most likely be looking at the Kioti or Bobcat depending on how much the seller would come down on the price, one of them would be coming home with me.

The difference between 60 and 1600 hours would be ten years or more for me. Easily worth $3k. You were asked - do you need the remotes?
