Mine did alright for what it was.
I see them used by my electric/gas company quite often.
Also you can google Dig-it towable backhoe and get information.

If I was going to spend that much on that, I'd pay.more for newer, bigger, faster. That's me though.

912 hours wouldn't bother me in the least. Signs of damage or neglect would.

I was thinking about that. I could wait till one comes along. How much more do you think we’re talking about to spend to get something more substantial?

I will definitely look it up as you advised, and thank you for your input.

I did just make an offer in the range of 6500. We’ll see what he says. I will let you all know.

I watched the video. The speed of the hydraulics was painfully slow. A couple of reasons, the engine wasn’t reved up, something was wrong with the machine, or that’s just the way they are.

Kubota, John Deere and others make similar sized machines, diesel engines, front wheel assist, better machines but used you are probably talking nearly double the money.

That’s very useful information and I thank you.

After watching the video if that’s the unit you are looking at purchasing it does seem like something isn’t right with the hydraulics. Maybe the pump?

That is just some Internet posting from someone else. My guy cycled the hydraulics, and it seemed to go much better than this video.
