At the local equipment dealer here in Toronto I came across a well priced 1998 John Deere 6675 skid steer. They are asking 11,000 CAN (probably 8,000 or so USD) and was wondering if this is a good machine to pick up. It has 1800hrs on it. I have never used John Deere and don't know what to expect (been a long time Bobcat brand user)...thats all
The Deere 6675 is actually a rebranded NH Lx565 (current Ls160) with a Deere engine. It shouldn't have any major problems that I am aware of. Have fun with it!
I am glad that you did the price conversion for us. Sounds about right for the year and hours.
