Thanks for the replies guys!!
I read a few threads after going a search on google where the 544b,c,d models had tranny problems? Could be due to operator error and being rough but have you heard anything about that lantraxco?
Included 2 pics of the actual machine itself.
I'm just going to be loading top soil, dirt and bark on a moderate scale I think so was thinking the 544b would be able to handle it. It looked like a really clean machine (whether that was from the pressure washing or not), quite a few new hoses, oil and filter changes very recent, new starter and a couple other newer parts. The pins seemed to be pretty tight too, hardly any wiggle room in them. I think whoever owned it took really good care of it as the body didn't have any dents, had all the doors to cover the engine etc. Seems like a clean machine. Says there are 1808 hours on it but I know that isn't right.
