[QUOTE="reaperman, post: 133865, member: 6675"] There are some machines with low hours out there. My machine had 613 hrs at 10 yrs old. Twelve yrs later it has a total of 1400 and running strong, as it should. There are many machines with that same engine with 6-10k hrs for sale trying to fetch big $$. I know it's a big purchase and being cautious is normal. Change the chain oil, it most likely has some moisture mixed in. I wouldn't worry about changing out the hydro oil unless you know something is definitely wrong. This advice is from a Bobcat mechanic who said there is no need to replace the oil unless it's contaminated. Plus, he said eventually I would blow a hose and that would be a good time. Otherwise, enjoy your machine, it's a proven unit with a good track record. [/QUOTE]
