A few years ago I bought a used KX121 from my local dealer. He told me to get in and operate it..but don't look at the hour meter.
So I took it out and played with it in his ears. It ran and operated silky smooth..and the price was right.. I think I paid 16,500 ish.
It has 6300 one owner operator hours on it and a stack of maintenance records that came with it. What I find is that I use it about 20-30 hours a year now..mainly because it gets things done so fast. Back when I bought it, it needed tracks..and still does..I guess. But for the limited use it gets..I don't see the need now. Having a AC and heated cab is great as well as a thumb. ..There are machines out there that are a good deal..you may just need to be patient and wait for the right one to pop up.
