[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 74527, member: 3290"] The thing that you need to remember here is that the machine is no longer stock, so some parts will not be available through standard means. It sounds like you have a good support system here, so that may not be as much of a risk. The only way that I would pay anywhere near $3000 for that machine is if it was running, and I could see the thing drive / loader operate. Otherwise, who knows what other issues there may be with the machine. If you can't hear the motor run, one has to assume that it may need work. Same with the hydraulic system. Based on that, I wouldn't want to pay more than $1500 for this unit, unless you are really looking for a project. It would also be good to know how many hours are on it, and what happened to the original engine. It may give you some indication of the level of care that it recieved. As far as the size category goes, a 1700lb ROC should do everything you want. We have a BC773 out at the farm (also 1700lb ROC) and do all the same work with it that you want to do. It has lots of capacity. With respect to the HP difference, this will not affect the lifting capacity of the machine, assuming the engine weighs about the same. What it will affect is speed and pushing power. Since your budget is $5000, and you think you can get $3-4000 for your tractor, go look at some $8-9000 machines, that should get you a nice one. We paid about $8500 for the 773, and were able to put is straight to work. HTH [/QUOTE]
