Includes bucket and forklift attachments., he said everything works and includes bucket and forklift attachments

Asking 2700. What do you think? Worth it?

I never heard of a "1200", that looks like a M600 or 610, and they bring a few thousand on eBay. Most older skid steers that will run will bring that, and sometimes more, especially since they don't have hydrostat drive motors and diesel engines.....the older VH4D Wisconsins are good motors that a shade tree mechanic can work on.

sure that isn't an early model owatonna skid steer? i bet that's at least 30 yrs old....grand tops

I wouldn't buy that unless I were an antique collector.

Nor would I set my butt in the seat of a machine without a ROPS.

You can find a much more useful loader for $3K or just a little more.

thanks for the info guys, i'll pass on it.

I really missed the point earlier. But as stated above, without a ROP's it would be a no go...they tip easily, forward and back, and it ain't fun.

I had a chance to buy a Case 1430 this fall, machine was in nice condition, new engine and trans. Smaller than what i wanted but it would have worked. The owner turned me off when he told me he put a new tranny in it when he bought it, then a new engine. Worked it for about 50 hours and blew the tranny and had to replace it a second time. I said no thanks and walked away. He was asking $4500 or B/O. Sounded like a money pit to me, to many parts in too little time.

Whats a ROP?

ROPS

Roll
Over
Protection
Structure

Usually referred to as "open cab".

You can still get killed on a machine that has one,

but at least with one you have a chance of survival.
