Its comparable to a Miller bobcat, have one a little older(Mustard color) than that one and payed 2400.00 new. A friend bought one a few months later for 2000.00, this was in the early 90's. At work we have one that has CV for running a suitcase and it works great. Only complaint is the noise from the engine.
