Looking at the one on craigslist in pa?! I was lokking at that too. Put a post in the bachoe section and still no response. Talked to a dealer said the only problem with the skip loader version was no weight on the rear tires and resale without the backhoe arm.

Might be the same one I am looking at, the one I am looking at is on Ebay and its in PA. The price is a little low for what your getting, the few I could find for sale online had more hours, less options and the lowes price I found was high 28k, thats what Has me concerned, Any problems that kind of thing. Don't want to sell my machine to buy someone's proplems, I already know what I have.

Seems slightly shady to me i called the guy he has a newer skidsteer so i dont know why it seems like hes giving away his attachments and on craigslist at the bottom it says as is no warranty just wondering why.

Before I even consider buying it I am going to go see it first. According to his Ebay feedback he has done some shady things. I question the attachments too.
Thanks for your time.

Did you ever go check out that machine?

 

[srb215]

No I haven't. When I talked to the guy he said he as doing a demo work down the Jersey Shore this week and he wasn't sure when he was getting back. If I do go I will let you know what I think.

We used to rent the 212's. I had no problems other than the bspp hose fittings. It was a a fine machine other than that.
