NEED SOME ADVICE on a Purchase!

[McTowner]

I may be a bit late to this chat but have a bit to add, having had a '21 DK HST with a MIE thumb. The thumb is a great add on and MIE is great to deal with (wish they were local).
I would definitely personal go look over the machine and spend some time operating it.
The 21 DK I had was problematic with electrical and hydraulic issues. The cab light didn't work along with the radio. The wire harness apparently had corrosion. The tractor also had cavitation/hydraulic issues. The FEL controls were not fluid. The 3 point was jumpy. (both on my 20 year old New Holland worked better) The cavitation issue was the most concerning.
I am not sure if this was just a COVID time frame quality issue ...
I now have a '25 DK, FEL and 3pnt are way smoother. No signs of cavitation.

Can you tell a little more about that hydraulic cavitation?
How could you tell that was the problem?
