We just replaced a 950H that had a bunch of issues and electrical problems with a 962H. Its not a bad machine, we use it for loading screening plants and preparing material. It is a lot better balanced machine than the 950H was. We also have a 950G thats a lot nicer feeling machine than the 950H. The 962 ate about 3 dipsticks in the first couple of months, turns out they had the wrong dipstick in it, and now the hood has a mind of its own and just opens when it feels like it. Came in a few mornings to an open hood, then it started to raise on its own during the day. Unplugged it temporarily while we are diagnosing that problem. The New cats have so many electronics in them, I don't know if its helping them. We just traded a 938G with 14000 hrs on it, and never did a damn thing to it for a Kawasaki 70ZV2. The Kawasaki is a really nice machine. Feels like an F-series Cat. We got it with 23.5 tires on it with a 4yd bucket, the 938H has a smaller bucket and they wont put bigger than 20.5's on it. Its a foot longer than the Cat, has bigger tires, yet turns sharper than the 938. Cost was about the same for the two, I will post some pics of the Kawi (when it stops raining). I'd give the Kawasaki a try also, The 85Z would probably fit your needs.
