New Holland L885 skid steer pros or cons

Does anyone have any experience with this model? I"m looking at buying one and was wondering if there were any pros or cons?

I know a fair amount about them. They are overall pretty good machines. Nothing is really cheap to fix, but thats just the way it is. Make sure the dash lights up and works, they are about $700 new. The park brake probably wont work. They almost never do on the LX/LS machines. The hyros on those machines can get jerky and sticky when they get worn. Move the handles slowly and see if the machine moves smoothly without jumping around. If you mover the stick a small amount and the machine doesnt respond, then the servo on the hydro pump may be leaking, and that can be some good money to fix.
