I am honestly torn on 40 series. They are tough simple, machines that have the same basic working as a new skidsteer that are good machines for home owners. That said, gassers don't have enough power to not be considered toys. The amount of attachments they can run is limited do to their low pump output. Yes you can run an auger with 11 gpm, if you have all day. And the plain simple fact they are 20 to 30 years old and just worn out. The steering is always worn beon repair. Any problem with the chaincain case or final drives are costly. The gassers always run like crap. The diesels have plenty off power, but they are normally in worst shape thena gasser. I see enough of these machines that guys pay $5000 to $7000 grand for that are rolling scrap heaps, that is if they move and all I can think to my self is this guy could have found a 773 tor $10000 if he simple looked. I see the one that come into a dealer, I can only imagine what the other ones look like.</p></blockquote><p></p>
