When I bought it I knew it needed the engine gone through, hyd rebuilt and a lot of other things that had been let go for some time. I planned to keep the old machine for a long time, made a bunch of attachments and have just rebuilt the old VH4D for the second time in 21 years. I am also looking for kits to rebuild the three control valves for the second time in that many years. If you have the shop, tools, welder and know-how an old machine like the 610 and the repair manuals could be a good deal. Purchase price and the costs of all the repairs by Bobcat can reach the price of a newer (less hours )machine that you can get your money back out of if your thinking of doing a job and then selling the machine. By all means don't have a skid steer with out ROPS!!! There's no time to rethink this choice when the machine is on top of you or someone you love!!! Have fun, buckshot</p></blockquote><p></p>
