I know what He bought and sold His 331 for, He had three buckets, hydraulic thumb, cab and heat compared to these toys it was a bargain.

I bought my 96 Kubota back in 07 for 11K with 2800hrs. Everything was booming here then and used machines were generally expensive(new 334 Bobcats were around $65K, 5 year old used ones were still 30K+ with around 4000hours). Mine is a small(K020), grey market machine from Japan but it has given me around 1500hrs of faithful service so far. The amount of excavating I have done for myself and others, it has been one of the best investments I have ever made for sure. I almost bought a 2002, 328 Bobcat for 17K instead. My wife and i went to the dealer after hours so that i could have a better look without the salesman distracting me. I was having a really good look at it underneath and noticed some rust on the body. Looking further I realized that there were clam shells and sand under the sheet metal back near the counterweight. This scared me off but I did a little more research and found out that the dealer was importing machines from the US and that some had been either sunk in a hurricane or used for the cleanup. Glad I didn't get sucked in to buying that one! Funny, the dealer disappeared before too long as well. I guess I wasn't the only one that heard what they were up to...

Looks like fun toys for the property! I assume you are using a go-pro to film your videos. If you are there is that clicking noise from the mount rattling. Put some electrical tape and slide the mount that clicks on over that, it will get rid of it. I have done that with my cameras and it works great.
