[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 8599, member: 82"] Exactly, years don't matter much at all. Everyone that is looking for a skid steer knows the 743 machines are very good and reliable. Diesel engines are usually good for around 5,000 hours. After that they usually start getting hard to start and its time to get it re-conditioned. The hydrostatics are basically bulletproof! Keep it serviced and it should out last the machine. The 743 was the best machine they ever built, they made it for 10 years then they made the 743B for a few years with very minor changes. The engine and hydrostats were the same. Keep in mind that skid steers are nothing like cars, with age they really don't loose value like cars do. That price sounds a bit high to me, it would want to be in good shape. Over here in Australia they go for around 12-14K. They do come up cheaper when they are not running. [/QUOTE]
