Do You Have Any Experience with a Volvo EC35 Mini Excavator?

I've run across a fair deal, I think, on a 2001 Volvo EC35 w/ cab, no A/C. I had been really leaning towards a Kubota KX121 but price persuades decision at times you know. From the searching I've done this EC35 sounds like a good reliable machine and the one I'm looking at seems to be in decent condition. My question for anyone who has operated one or worked on them is are they as durable as any of the most popular machines out there? Anyone have any pros or cons from personal experience you could share? Are parts and service affordable compared to other brands? I know that last question depends on location. I do have a Volvo dealership near by but just in general wondering if parts for Volvo are average or higher in price compared to CAT, John Deere, Kubota, Yanmar, Komatsu, etc.

This will be my first excavator and just looking one for personal farm use right now that wont break the bank.
