I am thinking about buying a trencher for my business and just saw a Vermeer V450 for sale along the highway. Anyone have any esperience with them? Looked like it had the John Deere 3 cylinder diesel, 7' trenching stinger, backhoe (on the front, I guess it would be a front hoe), 6 way blade. Like a true rookie I didn't get the hours, but the parking brake is unhooked below it (consider it having a problem). The bottom pin on the backhoe has some play in it, there was an oil leak under the backhoe controls that seeped some, probably to be expected. The auger to carry away the dirt from the trencher stinger had a piece of rebar welded on the edge of it the whole way, Don't know why since this would be a non-wear item I think. The sprocket that drives the trenching chain is just a little concave on the face that drives the chain. Any idea how long that can be expected to last? Front tires were new, rears were 1/2 tread. I didn't get a price on it, but got the #. I know these can be a huge PITA and expensive to fix if they break down, so I want to know what to look out for.
