I have an opportunity to buy a machine (Bobocat T300) high flow. this machine comes with about 15 implements. 5ft brush axe, mulching head, tree sheer, root grapples, 2 trenching heads, post hole diggers and heads, buckets, soil compactors, and leveling attachments. I see this as an opportunity to get in the business with quite a bit of stuff to keep me going. I saw several good suggestions on your sight for formulating a business plan, and target markets and etc. I have a question on the machine. it has about 4000 hrs. very clean. it was owned by a ranch not used commercially. 2006 model. what type of life expectance is there for this machine before it would be considered wore out? is 4000 hrs a lot or just broke in? I also would welcome any advice as I would be walking away from a 20 yr career working for the man to begin this new chapter. Very big decision.</p></blockquote><p></p>
