[Mustang320]

Hello, I purchased a mustang/Owatonna 320 with 1400 hrs on it, 25hp onan air cooled engine. Got it for $3600. Seems to be in good condition... This is my first skidsteer, and very excited about it. It came with manure forks and a 48" bucket. I just ordered a toothbar for the bucket. What can you guys tell me about this machine? I plan on making my own attachments for it at some point. I plan on adding auxiliary hydraulics, headlights, polycarbonate sides... I have a 3 acre property that's accessed via a 1/4 mile easement. I bought the skidsteer to do a few projects around the house and I keep thinking of more projects! I don't think I'll ever get rid of it, maybe upgrade! What advice do you guys have for a newbie? What would you do with this skidsteer if you had it? Brian...

Like antfarmer said ,change fluids and clean , just don't go nuts with the pressure washer. The sides of my cab I cover with clear vinyl from Wal-Mart fabric department. It's about 1/32 thick and costs only about 10 bucks to do it. Poly would be nice in that you could remove it easily in hot weather but we seldom have weather like that here.
