Thanks mikey. do you know were there's any for sale in maine? I looked at 2 2000z one was $16000 with 12000 hrs on it the other was $18500 with 4900 hrs, I don't need one that big just for loam and snow.
My friend has a 1900Z with a Duetz air-cooled motor. We were unloading a screener with it in warmer weather and the motor never got hot. It has some pep though, it'll spin the tires. I'd consider buying one myself if i needed a loader, they're stable machines, easy to operate.
The only downside as someone mentioned is brakes, my friend spent a good fortune to do the front brakes. All the parts are tiffany prices, even with aftermarket componenets.
