I bought a MCT125c 4 months ago, a 2012 with 930 hours for $23000. I use it around my sawmill and really like it, great viability, real easy to get in and out of, can leave the forks up for stacking lumber, silky smooth controls. Travel speed is a little slow, not a 2 speed. It's rated at 2600# but I picked up a 5500# log with it and a 4500# stack of lumber. No idea on reliability yet but Volvo make a lot of good equipment.

ROC and tipping weight are much different, tipping weight on that machine is close to 8,000lbs.
Volvo makes great equipment, but JCB builds everything on these.
They are not bad machines overall, have their advantages and disadvantages that each person likes. You can pick them up fairly cheap sometimes. The people that really seem to like them are the sole operators of them and often work alone as well and don't put thousands of hours on.
