Bought mine used and so far it has been a very good and dependable unit. Can be a little cramped changing one of the hyd.filters under the seat and it's usually just easier to drop the belly pan to change the engine oil filter and drain the oil.  Mine has the Case 4 cyl diesel. At the time I probably would have looked at a JD or NH as a first choice but this one was just way too good of a deal to pass up. I actually prefer the all hand controls now instead of the pedals.

Only 2 things it lacks that I would like to change is it has no auxiliary hydraulics and still has the old style bucket attachment system and not the newer quick tach bucket. You also cannot see the cutting edge from the seat due to the high back bucket. That is not a big deal as you get a feel for where the cutting edge is at after awhile.

I think owners manual rates lift at 1700#'s I have one solid weight mounted below radiator door but at times wish there was a little more however I believe I have a larger than normal bucket.  

It's a great machine for moving and stacking snow and is just plain useful for almost everything.
