new holland skidsteer lx885turbo

[Katman]

I'm thinking of checking one of these skidsteers out. it's a 1998 with 485 hours. Seller has a centerville trailer, pallet forks, bucket 3 augers, metal tracks rops, weights. it has quick release couplers and heated cab. don't really know much about skidsteers but I was going to rent one for a while and I thought this might be an option. Got a friend who would be interested in it down the road if I decided I wanted to sell. So, is this a decent machine? Seller is asking $21,500, which seems a bit high from my review of what I can find at some of the equipment sites but it doesn't cost me much more than a nice drive to make an offer. Also, will I have any issues towing this home with my 2500?

2500 should pull it fine. Be sure you've got good trailer brakes. LOL
