Backhoe recommendation

Posted by don t. - 9n180179 on July 01, 2012 at 09:25:57 from (75.205.29.147):

Hope I can get a little help for a friend.
He is in the market for a backhoe. Not afraid to get his hands dirty, in the $4k-$6k range.

In part, I got this in an email from him:
Looking at two backhoes, One Ford, and one John Deere Both from '70,s. Just to poke around with, stumps, etc, not commercial use.
Any pros, or BIG cons with either??

and

There are several around in the 4-5-6K range,
ford, JD, International, and I understand that
a machine from the '80s is gonna have issues.
and it won't 'look' good.
But to plunk around the homestead, who cares....

Thanks much,
.....don t. .....
