XT70 advice

[paramajic4]

Newbie here. I am considering buying used 2003 Case XT70 machine. It has about 2100 hours and appears to be in good shape. Price will be around $15000. Any advice on this machine or things to look out for? I will be using it the mountains at approx 8000ft for general dirt work. Thoughts?

ask for maintence records to confirm things have not been neglected. look at grease points to see if fresh grease has been done, check filters alot of people write hours and date on them when changes have been done. look at cylinder rods to see if there is hydro oil leaking. look at color of exaust ,ease of cold starting. I think also you can tell how well somethings have been maintained by the amount of dirt sticks leaves are in bottom of machine. so when you lift cab check for oil leaks in there too. price seems ok.
