[QUOTE="Goodlife, post: 948870, member: 17226"] I am considering purchasing a used highlift for development of our place (see post on Beginner Board for more.) First I don't know a lot about highlifts, but my brother does as a union operator. My question is around what type to purchase. I originally was looking at CAT 953's and found a couple in the $17k-$25k range that posted they were in good working order. Then I found a 941 (70's model) for $15k and it seems to be in very good shape. For general work (Digging a road, removing trees, digging ponds, knocking down trees (some big oaks and hickory's)) would the 941 do the job for me? I normally would spend the extra money to have more than I need instead of less, but money is tight with all the other projects I have going on so saving $5k would be nice. But I am afraid if I purchased the 941 I would regret it. The 941 is older but from what I understand some of the older CAT's were real workhorses. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
