Looking at buying a 2006 John Deere 27d for trenching. Anyone have any opinions on that machine?

I have a 27c and it's a very handy little machine in tight spots and has been very relialbe. I have a little over 1000 hours on it with zero problems. If you're just digging out in the open I would recomend a 35 instead. The 35 has more power and digging depth and can still be hauled behind a pickup.
