    I think there is some wrong information on that first machine. A Dash 2 was made from 1997 to 2001 and the asking price is way out of range. Auction sales are in the low teens for that vintage and model. Even your second pick is way out of range. Since those are asking prices I would suggest you do some research on Machinery Trader to better prepare yourself for battle.

    Glad you found a mini-ex, they are handy machines on a farm or ranch. Mine will lift almost twice as much as my tractor.
