the more I look, the happier I am to have the 1344 I bought recently - seems to me I'd be better off with one that's barely broken in ( 1344 hours on the clock ) than one that's been repaired or restored - I do need to add a plow, and hydraulics for a drag, but not having those things tells me the machine didn't likely have to work very hard - even though the Canadian dollar fell through the floor and added 20% to the price, and add the cost of transportation to the total price, I still think I got a bargain that's not going to depreciate in value
