Hi guys,
I think this site is great with a lot of experienced people here and am in need of some information to help make a good decision.
I am looking to purchase one of the above mentioned loaders for use on the farm pushing brush and site work for building shop, house, roads etc...I may after performing my work do some jobs for other people.
What would be any known problems to look for on these machines and any suggestions on reliability/longevity. Also any good things. The JD is hydro and the rest are Power Shift I know, but I have no experience with JD yellow equipment and have not run a Cat 955L. I have run Cat 951B and smaller IH 125B many years ago. I would think there will not be much difference between those other than size. I am familiar with what to check on the undercarriage/sprockets however I would like any other advice for the rest, especially the JD hydro.
Thanks in advance for your replies,
Dale
