Obviously a lot rides how how the machine was taken care of.
but I’ve been in the market for a wheel loader to shuffle rock away from my crusher. And I have been looking hard at 980G cat losers in the early 2000’s, my problem is a lot of these are any where between 20 to 40 thousand hours. all my machines have hire hours but nothing like that.
This loader would be used maybe 600 hours a year and that would be a big maybe an I crazy for thinking about purchasing a machine with that many hours on them? Or are these machines still good for some easier Hours then running in a pit all day everyday?
Any input would be great thanks
