I have found 2004 Cat 236B that has all the options I want and fits into my price range however, it has 4800 hours on it. The machine appears to still be in very good condition but am I asking for trouble here? What do you all think?

think you should ask to opperate the machine for half an hour if possible. also ask about the service records i have all my service records for our 5 skid steers and i change everything as manufacturer states. so these records are really helpfull. you need to look at time between oil changes and hydraulic oil changes. but hope this help have a good day.
