[QUOTE="Clod Hopper, post: 1328168, member: 24111"] I have a 883 which is basically the same machine. I love mine. I have used it to load trucks and shear and the added wheelbase is great for stability. The deutz is a great engine. I had to replace the drive chains at 1500 hours which was a little pricey but all in all it has been a very dependable machine that I worked beyond its intended use. I need to replace the timing belt on mine and if this one has not had it done consider it because it is my understanding that the valves hit the pistons if it breaks. Service manual recommends to change it every 1000 hrs. Good luck I hope you buy it. [/QUOTE]
