yeah thats the one. a guy has one for sale with 800 hrs and a thumb for 14, i bet i can get him down to 12. good deal? i know they don't come with a thumb, he must've had it put on. i'm trying to get into a niche doing light excavation and trenching for plumbers and electricians. and when i don't use it i know i can rent it out.

as far as pricing goes not a clue I fix em. recommend you contact local bobcat dealer, a see if they have on in rntl that's paid down and what is the price? ( benfits of this route is you can rest assured maint has been done) 2 send propspective unit youre thinking about purchasing thru dealer for eval, may cost a couple of hundred that if you don't buy it you wont get back, if owner does not agree to a free service on his unit red flag., benfits is you know what youre getting and how much to square it away.
