going used....
Track Skid Steers, Used Track Skid Steers, Track Skid Steers For Sale At MachineryTrader.com - Manufacturers
simply looking at above link CAT and bobcat are neck and neck for used machines out there, with Deere coming in third.
============
i get a tad uneasy going into used...
type in your "zip code" then search
then enter a "max price" then search (say a few thousand more than willing to pay. just to see above and below your price range)
call each place up and double check they still have unit....
get name/address telephone number if not obtain able on machinerytrader already.
and go take a "day" road trip to say a dozen places and look at the various units.
--personally use google maps and enter an address at a time to mark locations of units
--then enter into GPS make it phone or a little cheepy GPS unit. to plan road trip.
some units are going to be UGLY pure and simply UGLY might as well toss into scrap yard. to much to put back together.
while others going to look used but working, but needing some major repairs
others going to be leaking, hissing, nocking and just plain angry ugly and keeping on going.
get out there and test drive the units. and if ya like a unit make a note of it... and go visit the rest of them. no need to be "instant like and want" spend the day looking at units. getter done in a day or 2. so you keep things fresh in your memory of how things looked and ran.
it will take a couple hours checking out machinerytrader website, and double checking overall specs for units via google search and like. so guessing a couple nights messing around on computer after work. if they still have the units i am guessing there going to have them for another day or more. or less priced so stinking low they will most likely be already gone.
