Buying Advice MF 1440

[Rockhaven]

Hello - Looking for advice regarding a 2005 MF 1440. Dealer in NH wants $10,500 for the machine. Comes with bucket, has 577 hours.

Also - anything I should look out for specifically?

I'll be using it for a light wood operation (5-10 cords / year) and general maintenance of a small farm & wood lot in S. NH - any cold starting concerns?

Thank you!

Should start fine in the cold as long as the battery is up.

Check the loader mounting hardware to make sure its tight. Is there any signs a backhoe was ever on there?

As usual check the oils for signs of water or other contaminates.

Check if it has a bucket quick attach, that might be handy for changing to forks.
