[QUOTE="Iowa Dave, post: 29923, member: 2195"] 753 was the best machine I have ever had. I had 2 of them, both G-series which are almost identical to the S-130. An older one wouldn't have the computerized controller, which may be simpler. I never had issues with mine. Others will know--maybe all 753's had Kubota motors--but make sure that is what you get. I know some 751's had "pugs" foe engines--don't buy one of those!! Condition is more important than hours. I never buy a machine that has been repainted, or one that I can't talk to the previous owner about. If buying from a dealer, get a warranty(It will only be 30 days/50 hrs or something on a used machine), and then use it hard (don't abuse, just use HARD) during the warranty period. There are lots of bank repos right now that sell cheap, but you better have someone who knows their stuff look that type of machine over good before you purchase it. I agree 753 would be a perfect size for you. GOOD LUCK! [/QUOTE]
