Not familar with the brand - but I would check out what type of local support is available. Meaning parts support for this machine. Don't take the sales persons word for it - get a list of recommended spare parts w/part numbers beyond oil & filters and see how many the dealer has on their shelf. Parts (even warranty service parts) can take time to get from the manufacturer - 30 to 90 days (can you afford to have the truck down that long?).

Also find out how much training the dealer's service technican's have received. Have them show you parts manuals, service manuals (electronic format or hard copy)etc.

Price becomes a non-issue if you can't keep your machine up & running.

Remember "buyer beware" or "Cavot Emptor" (spelling may not be correct but it means the same.
