Only buy one if you have mechanical ability and will not get upset if the machine cannot be fixed. Getting a low cost machine is what I call "time payments" As time goes by you pay in installments by the parts you buy. I did help a friend get a half-dead Bobcat 743 when I lived in the country, and we patched it up and he used it around the house for years, it was a great machine but always had issues. and it was bought for 900.00 from a horse breeder because it had gone into the lake and was a mess. We took it all apart, and even painted it and I made some of the parts he needed on my lathe. He loved the machine and had put another 400 dollars in hoses, filters, parts, bearings and so forth. I really enjoyed that machine and was very upset when someone stole it from him! No wonder I always had my Bobcat in dirty rusty shape, and no one took it. If I ever found such a deal on a 743 I would grab it. it's still my favorite Bobcat .</p></blockquote><p></p>
