Hey Ben, at our age that side door is really nice. Buying new also avoids a lot of concerns, especially with tracks, and you get the latest engineering. Buying used you are often really at the mercy of the previous owner and his maintenance program. Dealers usually have good financing programs in this type of a market. A well cared for machine has good residual value. jmho.

Tracks are great in any off-concrete application but have a lot more moving parts down in the mud than a wheeled loader.

Mine was a real life saver this past winter.
