I don't make enough at my job to buy $15,000 machines but I've done well enough where my machines pay for themselves and cost of ownership. I recently turned down an '04 S300 2 speed that needed a drive motor. Pretty sure the motor grenaded and has contaminated the rest of the system though…they were asking $9500. My understanding is its just a S250 with a heavier rear door for counterweight, no extra hp. The main appeal with the 885 is the 2 speed is I'm a "part time" farmer where I'm always driving my 873 a quarter mile up the road every few days to move round bales for the neighbors dairy farm. The plan is to sell the 610 for $1500 less or so less then a usable 753 or diesel standardized quick tach skid steer so I can leave it at the farm and have a machine to do chores with. Not a big fan on loaning equipment but they've fallen on hard times and really don't want to see them sell out.</p></blockquote><p></p>
