[QUOTE="mmsllc, post: 92724, member: 13117"] At multiple times, I have tried to urge others to buy a little bit bigger machine than they thought that they may need. I've tried to persuade them to buy nothing smaller than a 753 because of the stronger KUBOTA diesel engine & lifting capacity, but I feel I am ignored often based on what the customer wants to spend & what they are looking to do with the machine. I've seen the trend of buying what they can afford, only to find out it needs a ton of work / repairs. I've tried to speak easy & persuasively, but honest to god, nobody listens. It turns out about the same way as you have described. It either breaks down on them, or they have to ell it for a larger machine. Either way, it becomes so very predictable. I see people always wanting a deal so bad that they overlook how well it will fit their needs. It gets comical (& sad) to witness because it is so PREDICTABLE. What else can I / you do?? (BTW, boat / motorcycle owners are the same way.) I assume it is human nature to make things harder than it needs to be simply because they don't know enough about what they are getting into. In my 'humble' opinion, a 753 is the smallest machine usable in the construction industry. Anything smaller (this only applies to everyday use in the construction industry), is simply useless, too small or not able to replace enough crew members to make its price tag worth while. (This is solely based on what I have seen sell in the industry, for which these machines were made for.) So, if somebody buys a 743 based on price (& oblivious to the mechanical state of repair), then they could / should have bought a 753; they are just that much better in my opinion. There is just NO comparison between the two!! Now for the homeowner, it all makes sense. Buy what you think will fit your needs the very best. However, a (good) KUBOTA diesel engine is a bad-@SS!!
