Hello all. I was hoping to get an opinion on a 2004 JCB 520 that is located at a company where my friend works. They are planning on selling it due to them not using it that much anymore. It has under 2500 hours which my friend believes to be true. No hour meter was changed or disconnected while he's been there. It looks to be in good condition with not a whole lot of abuse.

Is this a year I should avoid? Also my use will be primarily around a warehouse and on cement/asphalt.

Is it a 520 -50, the little compact model, if so the only problem i have ever seen with them is the brakes are in the hubs and if the oil is not changed often enough they can break up and cause harm! apart from that, they are a fair good machine
