tonyoz I learned a long time ago there are only two kinds of people; those who are 'gathers' and those who are 'distributors'.
While I only have mainly junk equipment today (all I need since I just 'play' with it) I do not part with it even when perhaps I should. I know I am a 'gather' so I just do not price stuff.
That RC100 looked like it was a neat size machine. Not huge but enough size/power keep from always wishing for more on every job. I miss an ASV30 with a regular bucket, grapple and shears attachments for $7500 with 431 hours but never did get to eyeball it so it may or may not have been a deal but I was concerned with the 800 pound load limit I would be pushing the limits to often plus I really just wanted it more than I needed it.

Now that looks more like the ASV 30 but I did not know if maybe the RC100 version looked different at some point in time. What turned me on to this class of machine is the guy who trimmed a lot of trees for me had a rubber tired JD 250 that was awesome to watch work. He had a dirt buck with grapple feature. I saw I would prefer tracks around the place.

For that price you can buy a decent full size wheel loader.

That loader will run cirkels around that CTL and at a fraction of the operating costs.

Gale I have no idea what the market is in your neck of the woods so can't comment on prices. The biggest downfall of ASV machines is their undercarage (my thoughts only) and the Cat CTL's also used the same until just resonantly. The belts on the Cat in the photo look in good nick from what can be seen.
