Bobcat 863

First off, much thanks in advance to anyone who shares any information Im looking at purchasing a used skid teer. Being only my second year in business im still on a budged. At the moment im looking at a 2001 Bobcat 863 it has 6400hrs on it, which is a higher then id like but realistically for the amount id like to spend, its what im going to get. im going to use it for general construction purposes, snow, dirt, nothing to extensive or hard....as with any machine im sure there are issues to look out for but my main concern is anything extensive, and any real issues that say stay away. As far as i can tell the machine checks out just fine, but before i pull the trigger i just wanted to get a few opinions, if anyone out there with any 863's have any past or present experiences, do's or dont's with this model? things to look out for, warnings? would or wouldnt you get the same machine again? that sort of stuff. once again thanks in advance
