I found a S185 for $8k. Well actually my wife did. I had been looking for weeks, having some great advice from Fishfiles I was looking at the S220 and had started to justify spending $16k for a 2004 with 500 hours. Then just before the Superbowl my wife informed me she saw an S185 on craigslist for $8k. It had just been listed. That evening I talked to the owner and setup a time on Monday to look at the unit which was only 1 hour away and a trailer. On the way to check the unit I found that the mechanic I had used in the past had worked on the unit. His comments where the owner was one of the few people that regularly maintained his equipment and he would not perform a preasure test on the unit. When seeing the unit I could tell is was used with 2500 hours but was well maintained. After 30 checking the belts, engine and under carriage I ended up with the S185 and a Big Tex trailer for $8,700. The trailer needs work, the only thing I did with the S175 was replace the seat. thanks...... with a special thanks to FishfilesI sent you an email off your profile , call the number I gave you and talk direct with him , any help I could give you let me know --------------------he also has a really good deal on an Ingersol Ryan 80 gal , 13 hp Honda electric start air compressor that looks brand new for 1,200 , and auger , some bits , forks and a hammer , someone may have bought the trailer for it , not sure ------he been thinking about selling but the equipment just went for sale yesterday , if you are really interested I'd move on it cause at that price I don't think it won't last long , I think he could get 10,000 like it is , machine and grapple
The T190 sure seemed like a good deal. While I get my machines by chance - someone elses' problem machine that was too costly or troublesome to fix ends up in my yard, I am currently looking for a good deal for a friend. He needs a Bobcat or other skid steer for work clearing foreclosed homes, farms and lots but cannot afford an expensive machine. I am looking for a good deal or fixer-upper to repair and set him up for his work. Been really lucky finding attachments for good prices lately, I hope a machine will be just as easy to find.I found a S185 for $8k. Well actually my wife did.
