Whats it been doing previously?
At that money you could chance it and put 10 k in a savings account for when it does blow up . Check the heads of the bolts on the head and backend and hope the paint is gone off them .
A contractor near here bought 10 of them in 06 for a motorway job , some of them gave more trouble than others but one gave that much trouble he sent it back . So you can be lucky . Some will give less trouble than others .

Hedge cutting wont be a problem at all for the machine. Service history etc?.

I would pay the extra couple of thousand for a well proven reliable gear box if you want a john deere (power/auto quad).. Things are cheap for a reason normally. If you want reliability then go basic.
Plus the autopower will be a pain for you to sell when you decide to sell it.

But will you have the gear ratios you need comparing the autopower to the powerquad.

No it doesnt but is that really needed cutting hedges ? Surely it's in the interest to get as much hedge cut in one day not go slower that 1kph.
It's a expensive luxury. Very expensive when you talk depreciation and running costs as many have found out.
It could be a good one! Nobody knows until the box goes bang then it's too late that's just my non bias make opinion.
