[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 20997, member: 307"] On newer machine I guess its a indication of value, but hours are more important then years for sure. The dealers of most brands can now tell for the last several years when a machine was put into service thanks to computer records. I think the year thing comes more from vehicles where a title is involved. Bobcat has series and serial number breaks where a change in the way a unit was made (which would affect the correct parts required in the future) and series which indicate a major upgrade and finally different model # that progressed as the years went by. some where bigger and other were a update of a earlier # I general I still think of years for heavy equipment, but its much less of a indication then the hours on the machine, Both of which have to be taken with some skepticism and the overall condition used a the main guide.
