Doug. We have a Hyster 60 and 65. Great machines. They were bought as they can back from a lease about 6-8 years ago. Both have three leavers on the side down low... it was actually a bit tricky to get used to as out other forklifts had the controls up front. The short answer is we got used to them and you will likely get used to the electric controls too. Unless there is some other issue I would go for it... Everything is expensive to fix and older parts are sometimes even harder to source parts. We have a few excavators. My older Hitachi EX 60 -1 just had some work done on the final drive... seals and brake piston, it was about $2700 for this little work. Some parts are no longer avalible and some used parts are hard to find for this machine now. Alternatively our EX 120 is electric over hydraulic. It is even smoother to contro than the the other machines which are hydraulic over hydraulic. We were having some throttle control issues on one mechanic wanted to change a few parts. The guy who did my final drive suggested I just reset the computer codes... a total switch and the ignition on for 10 seconds. Instant fix.... note this is the first time for me that electric problems have been resolved so easy.
Good luck, you will like the Hyster either way, just make sure you have the right tires for your conditions. We have one that is a more "solid" pneumatic than the other, it tends to get stuck a little more often than the others. Grant

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
