Toyota Skidsteer opnion??

[JR2]

Anyone know much about Toyota Skidsteers?? Is the one below any good? I don't recall ever seeing another one around.

I emailed the guy selling it and he has no idea on hours or what year it is, so its kind of an unknown. The only reason to buy this would be to so some very light work around my house and to clear snow in the winter. It would be kind of like a retirement home for a skidsteer.

I had to do a double-take and then I saw where you live!! Clearing snow in the summer is NOT something that I EVER want to even think about!!!

Well even where I live we don't clear much snow in the winter... I fixed the post.

I found out that the unit in question came from Japan and is in good running shape. I think its too much $$ for what it appears to be. I am going to let him sit on it for a couple of weeks and if he still has it I will try to buy it for less.

If it came out of Japan it would be called a gray market machine. Not made for the US. That's not really a bad thing, just might be hard to get parts for. Model designations are different, and sometimes parts houses can't look them up too well.
