[QUOTE="frogfarmer, post: 38454, member: 4075"] Most of the 7series machines will handle 2000lbs even though they are rated for less. I mention this because the machines rated for 2000lbs are going to be out of your price range in most cases. The 9series machines are far and few between and will be hard to find parts at a decent price. The 8series machines are good units but with a bucket, forks, and a plow most of them are going to be well past $10k. As far as hours go if you dont have the experience to thoroughly inspect a machine I would centainly pay a competent mechanic for his expertise. A doctored machine with a $10k price tag may only be worth $5k to someone who knows better. Also a mechanic may have experience with the different models and options and give good advice for a new purchase. [/QUOTE]
