Merlo p27.9

I'm looking at a merlo for around the yard , I see one with 9000 hrs on it , I know no history on it , what are they like , is it worth looking at.

Anything with Hydrostatic Drive and those hours would have to be avoided - the repair costs associated with most Hydrostatic Machines is horrendous - guesstimate £6,000-£8,500 for serious main pump/motor recon, unless a Merlo specialist can be more precise for recon pump and motor costs?

Merlo is wonderful but that one sounds old and could be crap, always best to buy a good one be cheaper in the long run and can write off some profits all those knife sharpeners must be making you

Thanks sleepy , the sharpeners are paying for the komastu , just want something for small money for moving pallets around and loading fencing materials . And keep the hrs down on the komastu .

Try and find an early 526 jcb. Cables and levers are the only way!
