Questions about engine hours 1845C

[KP7 Acres]

I don't really have a engine hp preference but I would like working lift capacity around the 1750 range + or -. A heated cab would be great but apparently most people don't get that option. I would also like to not go over 16k and find one within about 10hrs of me.
Asking a lot

KSSS, how many hrs are on your 465?

About 2K

KP....I'll look around here and see what's out there for you...from what I've been noticing, to find a machine with cab/heat in that price range is going to be tough without it having a fair amount of hours on it...Hell, I'm seeing them with 4100hrs on them for $25k or more with cab/heat....You know you could always go with one that has an open cab and add heat to it with like an after market heater such as the maradyne one...I've read of guys doing that and then just using like plexiglass for windows and doors...I also wouldn't be too worried about getting a machine from farther away either..started a thread on this site about that and quite a few people gave positive feedback on it...

KSSS, thanks...are you planning on trading it in or would you consider selling it privately to someone?

It matters not. However I am not ready to rotate out of it yet.

I did call the next morning, I was the second call. You know what they say about second place.

I think if i were you i would be buying that 85XT if you can afford it. That is a pretty good deal......

Well, obviously I did not get the 1845. I did find a 2001 Ls180 with a few less hours (2080) and picked it up.
