[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 118394, member: 13825"] I own one, and been rather happy , for what I wanted a skid steer for(mostly plowing snow and some smaller projects about a small property I have it at!) so it might come down to what you plan to do with it IMO< this model is rather solid footed, wide long wheel base makes it a tad better than some others on side uneven ground its also a rather heavy skid steer,with good lift ability the hoses under the seat look decent condition, and thats good as its not so much fun to have to tilt the cab to get to them, a lot has to come off machine to do so! ties seem good machine has seen some use that's for sure looking at the dings and dents and how the rear door seems to be! OEM parts are getting harder to find on certain parts, but a lot of parts on this model, are shared with newer NH models! like all older models, inventory on parts is drying up, and there not really making more of them! and , it looks like it has been painted at some point , so that tends to hide some things, so keep that in mind, and also there are NO rear weights, so if you plan to lift a lot of heavier things, might be worth adding in MY area the LX 865's will run from about 9 to 14K with 2000-4000 hours on them I have mine about 8 yrs now, and again been happy with it so far, , but I also sunk about 5 grand into over them yrs on some parts that just aged out and needed replacing! I would make the effort to find out where its leaking fluid from, and MAKING sure, what fluids are in the machine as these older machines were designed to run 10w30 oil in the hydraulic system and NOT hydraulic fluid it basically runs the same oil in motor as in hydraulic's some folks have altered things, (and according to my repair guys, it ends up with more issue's if they have done so) but you want to know what is in things before you change or replace, to keep things the same so I would for sure inquire MY machine had a fluid leak from a aged out hose at the bottom of the hydraulic tank, and ended up having to tilt the cab to replace it, a rather large job, all the more so if your PAYING someone in a shop to do for you, it can be a costly job due to the design of how the cab tilts over more modern user friendly machines in that area! which is a draw against this machine IMO also why I replaced ALL the hoses under the cab when I repaired the leak on mine HAHA! but over all if well cared for, there a decent older machine, IMO!
