[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 10976, member: 307"] I think if you watch ebay you can find once with @ 2000 hours for this kind of money. One thing though with that high of hours in 2 years it must have worked mostly long days, so fewer cold starts should reduce the toll those hours would take. Mine was a mint 160 with 430 hours (paint still on the exhaust manifold, original rubber 50%), no heated cab, 2000 model in fall of 05 for $11,500 The 170 is the exact same loader except it has 10 more hp because the engine is a turbo? If this is a NH dealer I'd be asking what they would want for a reman engine, pump rebuild etc. Has this machine had anything rebuilt on it? Also carefully check all the boom pins for play. By 4000 hours the bucket end of dump cylinder pins on a bobcat would likely have 3/8 to 1/2 slop in them (usually the worst ones) Not sure if the NH lasts better or not. The only thing I don't like about NH is the rad is quite exposed through the tailgate and the panels alongside the engine are just tin, however the sides are protected by the boom when is is down. We put a piece of fine steel expanded mesh over the vents on the read door so small stick can't penatrate the rad. If I was picking out a new one I would go with the turbo 170, the extra power would not hurt, How many hour a year do you think you will put on this loader. Has the seller indicated that NH had updated anything on this 2005 model that a older loader like mine would not offer? I would value it in the 10 to 11k range, although I doubt you would buy it from a dealer for this I could have bought a 05 s185, heat, AC, high flow 600 hours for 18K, I think I would look alittle more or work on them a bit.
