I always ask questions on here because there is a lot of experience and knowledge.
Anyway I am looking at a 1990 CAT 416 series II backhoe 4x4.
Overall, are they a good reliable machine?
The boom "looks" skinny compared to the newer CATs and JDs, similar to a 580C boom. Is this a weak point or nothing to worry about?
Front tires are 10.5-20. This seems like an odd size, I did find a few used. But price is more compared to 10 or 12-16.5. Am I not looking in the right place?
Machine is in pretty good shape. A few hoses need attention here and there and most pins/bushings are good, not tight, but not trashed. This is a farm use machine, not trying to start a business.
