It was bought by a landscaper/mulch supplier and was strictly kept at the landscape products store to load trucks with. Its never really seen any real work.

we just were quoted $18K for a brand new s185 ( about the same as a 773).

My winter job rented a s185 to move snow piles with, lucky me got to use it, they paid 214 a day. I should have brought in my 453 and charged them. 18K for brand new s185 sounds too cheap.

Is the 773 turbo or not. The turbo is a 56 hp kubota diesel. the other is a 46( i think, my mind went blank). Does it have remote hydraulics? I have a 773 turbo with 4in1, 88 in preparator, forks, auger with bits from 9 to36 in., boom, angle blade. It will be one hell of a tool. It will make you some money, and allow you to do alot more stuff by yourself.

No i do not believe its a turbo but i could be wrong. Yes it does have the remote hydraulics hookup on the front.
I still havent fully decided if im going to get it yet, figuring out where i can get that much money without having to get a large loan.

Thats not a bad deal at all. The hrs seem very low for a 4 yr old machine though.

2 yrs ago bought a 2000 863 bobcat heated cab and radio $ 12000 1000 hrs personally i think the 700's are underpowered however smaller would be better in tight places. But I dont think 18k sounds unreasonable
