I am in the process of buying a used loader in Kansas. I need someone to inspect the machine and provide a report on the machine's condition. Can someone give me the details of such company/person that offer these services.

Thanks

Have you contacted the local dealer? They should be able to have someone check it out. I don't know what the charge would be. It depends on if you want oil samples and such.

Perhaps you could search the forum for the specific machine you are looking at buying. Get familiar with it's problem area(s) beforehand.
Look for the obvious... leaks, cracks/welded areas, pins and bushings how she starts up cold, runs when warm...
Good luck.
