When I buy a used machine I usually place close attention to filters to see if they marked with a date or hours. Ask the seller if they have a service records of what was done to the machine and when the oil changes were done, always be skeptical of hour meter as they can be replaced with new ones! Happy New year to all,ty for sharing

i agree, great tips thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the great video. This was really helpful! Like you said... Think VALUE not necessarily PRICE!

[@usdpaulp]

Awesome video. Thanks for making it.

[@Ezrider359]

glad you enjoyed it

[@Dailydieseldose315]

Good tips. I always see these at auctions and they usually by gather a decent price.

[@Ezrider359]

used equipment tends to hold its value. but the good examples are not generally much more than the ones that have been beat to hell. lots of beat to hell equipment out there with a fresh coat of paint and a new hour meter asking top dollar as well...lol

Thanks for all the information Is 6000 hours a lot on a A s205 4 cylinder diesel

[@Ezrider359]

That's up there

[@bobcat8439]

Ten thousand means they are shot 6 thousand is alot of hours

[@anthonyfisher4874]

Great Video! I actually got the same Skidsteer about 4 or so years ago and I used it time to time on my property? However, I don’t know a lot about these machines however my question to you is mines have the boss system in the cab and it no longer powers up, is there anyway I can check the wiring with a tool to see if it’s getting power? Also I’m developing a leak as well near the belly pan where is a good place to start looking for a leak? Thank you

That bobcat 763 is a c series made from 1994-1997

[@bobmcranor1049]

How many hours before you get worried?

[@Ezrider359]

All depends on how well they were cared for there is abused junk out there with low hours and there's good machines with high hours. 5-6k hours I'd plan on it needing a lot of work possibly a engine rebuild in the near future even if well maintained

[@bobmcranor1049]

Ezrider92356 I was looking at a s300 but it has 4000 hrs. I’m kind of Leery about it

[@michiganranch1757]

Is it turbo?

[@Ezrider359]

no the 763 bobcat is a non turbo Kubota V2203e

[@bobcat8439]
