I picked up the NH C238 a week ago but have not had time to put it to work. I did however put it in the shop and give it a really thorough looking over. The machine is in really good shape and doesn't show any level of wear that it's hours would indicate that it should have. It was originally a "Taylor Rental" so it may have just sat around idling instead of being worked hard. Even the bucket edge is sharp and straight. I don't even think that the aux. hydraulic connections have ever been used. I tipped the cab and cleaned around the wires and hoses which only had minimal dirt accumulation and no leaks. I know that these New Hollands are prone to wiring issues and leaks under the cab. I ordered a number of attachments so it will be ready to work this spring. Many of my operations will be able to be done with the door removed which will help me jumping on and off like I seem to do a lot. I still have a Telehandler and an all terrain Sellick forklift that will still do most of the heavy lifting. The Skid steer will mostly be used for heavy brush mowing and earthwork. Not so much need of leaving the cab frequently for those operations. So, I have finally moved into the "modern age" as far as the equipment I own. Everything else I have is older than 1980 and as old as 1953. All good old work horses but a lot to keep up and running well. I'm also getting soft and lazy in my advancing years!</p></blockquote><p></p>
