Hey guys I've made about a million posts on here and have been all over the board. At this point I am feeling there is a "sweet spot" that will suit my needs which would be to find a used (older) compact TLB that's 30-40hp (35/40hp preferred) and has around $1k hours or less.
What I'm looking for is advice on which machines to look at and which ones to stay away from.
I care about parts availability a lot. So I'm hoping someone can recommend a general direction of which machines to look for and which to stay away from.
Right now it seems like John Deere's, New Hollands, and Yanmars may fill this sweet spot.
I did see a few fords, but after doing some research it sounded like parts are very hard to find for the models I looked at.
I would ideally want to be able to purchase engine rebuild kits for it for much much later down the road, but it's peace of mind knowing that they would be available for said machine.
