Hi, I have been looking to purchase a backhoe and I have come across a 2004 Cat 420D-IT that I am interested in. This will be my first backhoe so I really don't know too much about them. It will only be used for work around my home and cabin. I have been corresponding with the owner but haven't as of yet seen the hoe as it is located approx 5 hrs from me. He tells me the hoe is in great shape and ready to work. He did send me pics and I must say it do look decent. There is a little over 6300 hrs on it and I'm concerned if that is a lot or I shouldn't have to worry about it as such. Any feedback that I receive would be surely appreciated. Thanks for looking..
