I have had this for about two years and it has been a good farm unit. it works and lifts good, tires are good and it's great for a cheap machine. I was told the engine was rebuild a few years ago but can't confirm other than the engine looks like it has fresh paint. it has been used alot and I am not sure on the hours but It definitely has been used. the pins have been changed and are loose, it walks a little when cold, it is hard to start when it's cold outside so I put a block heater and new glow plugs. like I said it has been used but it has been great for a personal use machine. I have done an oil change,glow plugs, new thermostat and a coolant tank along with some other small things. next I was going to have the lift pump or Injection pump checked because I was told it's probably loosing prime that's why its hard to start but I just got a newer machine and don't need this one anymore. I just got the bucket thats on it and it works great it will also come with a smaller bucket but the cutting edge has had a plate welded on the cutting edge. it works for knocking sage or leveling but not for digging. message me with any questions. machine is located in Enoch UT
