2008 Deere 325 question.

[Ghost]

Hello All, I am new to this site and Skid Steers. I am interested in buying a 2008 Deere 325 with 3200 Hrs. on it. I have a question regarding its overall life expectancy. How long do these machines usually last? What's considered high hours on these things? Machine will be used daily 3-4 hours. I maintain all on my machines well, and am not afraid of buying a used machine, but I am paying pretty penny for it, so I wanted to get some advice before I pulled the trigger on it. Would really appreciate any help regarding this matter. Jay

The only thing that will really wear is the engine. If you keep it greased and maintained the only thing that will go first that can not easily be brought back to life is the engine. You should get around 6,000 hours from it before getting lazy. Keep it serviced and you should be fine.
When the pins/bushings get worn, don't leave them to wear beyond the bushing or you have a harder job if repairing it.
