What is a rough figure for skidsteers cost per hour to trade up? Looking at a 440-3 and 430-3, spec'd very close. One has 4,200 hrs and other has 1,600 hrs. Having a hard time spending 6k more on the low hour model, but thats only $2.30 an hour. When I look at it by the hours it seems like those would be cheap hours with likely less trouble. I won't put a ton of hours on, maybe 200 a year.
The 440 is one of the best machines I have owned. Not sure if it is the low houred one or not but they are very powerful for their size. Great machines, the S-3 gives you a much better cab and pilots.
