I have one I bought in 2002. IMHO the best skid steer made. Depending on hours and condition that price could be great, cheap, or high. I got mine (1994 model, 4000 hrs, good condition for $6500). The later ones have a bullet proof Cummins engine in them (mine has it). Selection of attachments equals or exceeds bobcat if it has the quick attach coupler. The early ones used planetary drive, later ones used chain drive (mine is cahin drive). I shopped for over a year on ebay, what I noticed was the Case units consistantly brought more than any other brand for comparable age and hours. I did buy a set of tracks off ebay for mine (Eel tracks). very important purchase. I've used Gehl, Case, Bobcat, Deere, and Cat. Over all I like the Cats the best, then the Case. Only problems I've had are some hoses, a fan bearing (water pump isnt behind the fan), and a battery. I use mine daily in season to move round bales and to feed with except when its raining or real cold. So much faster and moe efficient than a tractor. Also done several small construction jobs, makes me an easy 300 a day.
