Cat would be about the bottom of my list, but not because of the engine. Just seems like a helpless machine to me from what I've seen of them. The engines are Shibura's, the same as NewHolland uses and nothign wrong with them other than they're high speed, low torque engines. Decent on fuel though if you don't run them too fast. NewHolland would be my preference. LS170 or LS180 is about the class you're looking for. Gehl probably my second choice...

Check them all over for cracks and leaks along with slop in the wheel bearings and chains in the final drives. Get them hot and see if one wants to keep making heat... things like that. Price on the 75XT seems lowish to me too but this is a down market. If the thing checks out and the title is clear, go for it.
