[QUOTE="finn01, post: 35700, member: 2860"] I bought a 240 Series II last spring. It's my first machine and it's pretty easy for a beginner to master. I Paid $10300 for the machine with 950 hours, with a decent bucket and a set of forks, relatively new tires, and a recent fluid change. I used it around the cabin for about 150 hours with the replacement of one hydraulic hose ($80) under the engine as the only issue. The hose sprang a leak where it was resting on the skid plate access door. I've been pleased with the machine, although a cab enclosure would be nice. The 240 has a 3 cylinder Deere wet sleeved engine, so it should be easily rebuildable when (if) the time comes. The Series II machines supposedly have an improved (more robust) electrical system. Do a search for details. Alan [/QUOTE]
