Buy or not

Should I buy a 2015 “Dig It” M2208 loader/backhoe for $8000?
It has 912 hours on it.
Kohler engine.
Nothing terrible appears wrong with it.

You’re right, that’s pretty funny!

Is it like this?

 

[Bonzoretro]

That is the exact one! Do you think 912 hours is any sign of overuse?

I wouldn’t pay that much for a gas motor version.

Should I go for a reduction of +\- 10% or just avoid this entirly?

I know nothing about these, but I would sure hope that the bucket and backhoe cycle much faster than what the video showed.

I had athe towable model of a dig-it and was pleased with the way it was set up and handy since it even had hydro wheel motors.
I think it's priced on the high side but that's the way things are today but it wouldn't hurt to make a lower offer either.

Thanks. Another member saw a video and proposed that itmay be too slow in its hydraulic motions. Do you have an opinion about how fast the digging arms cycled?
