If it curves one way going forward and the opposite going in reverse, that's a good indication of a weak drive motor...if it curves going forward and drives straight in reverse, its probably just an adjustment. Same thing as buying any equipment, look for leaks, drips and smoke. Hydraulics should be strong and snappy, safety mechanisms should all work...flip up the cab and look for leaks and seeping on lines and control valve. Ask the history of the machine...manure and feritlizer are extremely corrosive and machines used ib demolition or have run breakers often have a lot of slop in the pins and bushings.</p></blockquote><p></p>
