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.
