Guy at work has been looking for a skidsteer in the +/- range of $10,000. I see on CL a LS170 in a farm setting for $7500, which I think is cheap. I will first to admit, I don't like NH, but a lot of guys do and this strikes me as cheap. Haven't seen it in person so, but ad says runs and work good. Plus farm work is generally easy on skidsteers. If this was a Bobcat I wouldn't think twice about recommending to the guy as I will be inspecting anything he's interested in.
 
Since it is vertical lift with that many hours probably has a lot of boom linkage pin wear. I like the Nh for ease of entry and the longer wheelbase but it does seem the boom pins wear quick even with a lot of grease.
