The used market is a jungle! I've bought 6 backhoes in 22 years. My goal is to find a well maintained machine, at a price I can afford. I've looked at perhaps 100. Most I have bought were in good condition except for a disabling condition the former owner couldn't figure out. In some cases the dealer mechanic, trained by manufacturer might figure it out, but cost exceeds the value of the machine.
