First you have to know and understand Linde. They make excellent machines. The Deutz is still used in the 353 series truck. As for parts not being available i disagree. Like any manufacturer parts will always be an issue. Linde has parts issues the same as Cat and the rest. The good thing is while you are messing with brakes and transmissions , the Linde is still rolling. They make the best hydrostat in the business. You cannot argue that point. The diagnostic software is going in one direction and is very accurate. The latest VW engines are very reliable and robust. I would not hesitate in bying a Linde. But thats my own choice. Have a good day.
