    the manufacturer of case excavators

    My buddie owns a 2006 CX 130 since new , he has said to me many times its every bit as good as a new cat (his has VERY low hours) at his day job they have a Yanmar mini , cat 330 , cat IT backhoe , cat d5 .....so I would have to say they are high quality smooth operating strong machines.

    for 12K I cant buy much of a machine in my area , if its clean ,tight and strong I would say go for it. I dont have any insite as to that machine but like I said there isnt any machines priced that low unless they are scrap value and not working around here.
