2005 s130 with 280 hours

[dluter004]

I will be using this for cutting/clearing cedar trees etc. with a pincher as well as doing some landscaping work around my house. Is this a big enough machine to get the job done? Currently we are using a 751 with a different shear attachment and we are looking to get a heavier one with a little more cutting strength. Does anyone have suggestions on who makes a good tree shear? Finally, the asking price on the s130 is $18,500. Is this reasonable? Thanks for any help you can give me. If you have suggestions for other brands that would be a better fit for me I would appreciate it. Thanks!!!!!

The S130 is the same machine as the 751, just more power, if you are looking for hydraulic power, it'll do better, not much, but better than the older 751, something in that size that would be better in my opinion would be either a high flow 130 or a 200 series.
