Hello every body, I'm new to this forum and I'm not native English speaker.
I'm in sub Saharan Africa where track loaders are not popular and I need to buy one of these three machines(943,953 or 963) or one of the last two followed by "C" as track loader are versatile machine, so as I'm not mechanic and never own track loader I'm seriously worrying about how this machines might be in Africa and what problems may I face in the future from this machine. The questions that I'm focusing are:
1-How can I find spare parts?
2-What parts of the machine do I focus checking before buying it?
3-As hydro-static transmission is expensive how can I check it's current state (whether good or bad)?
4-Is it to change the complete hydro-static transmission if fault or it have parts to change over time as the engines?
5-I'm planing to buy made in France from Italy what shortcoming have French cat versions?
Adding all these some friends who operate heavy machines warned me from these machines as they are new to our environment and advised me to buy old slow machines which they are familiar with like fiat-allis fl10c or fiatallis fl14c knowing spare parts of fiatallis are rare all around the world.
I'm more interest in machine that is versatile, easy to operate,do the job well and fast, So I'm requesting to all experts on this forum to help me chose the right machine.
Thanks for advance to every body.
