Going to look at a Tak TB36 soon. Anyone have one, operate one, or just have some thoughts on them?
I got plenty of pics from the owner so at least I am not walking in totally blind and it looks relatively square and was told it had quite a bit of work in the last year or so. Tracks and sprockets look ok. Aux hydraulics have been disconected and look to be an easier fix. I also talked to my dealer here and Takeuchi in Georgia. They both said that machine was built for US distribution and the parts availability is no problem, even finals(though pricey).
My search for a mini has been trying and I have looked at older JD's and even newer(TB125) stuff but the pounding they took and the asking price never lined up.
Wrenching is no problem for me so even if a machine needs stuff it is ok as long as the price meets the abuse point.
