I haven't heard anything bad about them, but i'd avoid SJC controls. They seem to cause more troubles than they are worth.Not sue if I stated this correctly? I am looking for the best year for the models mentioned, for less issues electriclly, engine, pumps and etc. Any one of the 4 models will work for my use as for as power, lift and etc. Normally the first year of a new design gives problems and only want to stay away from any lemon years.
Those years are all about the same if not identical. The 250 will sell more units and have a lower initial price; that would be my determining factor as the dealer will stock the parts they sell based on volume. The 300 will be a close second but likely not as popular. When buying used the machine condition will have alot more impact than machine history as a whole.I haven't heard anything bad about them, but i'd avoid SJC controls.
