Hours and drive system
Chain case and drive motor condition matter more on a skid steer than almost anything else.
Controls and hydraulics
Pilot joystick controls and high-flow auxiliary hydraulics widen the buyer pool.
Cab
An enclosed cab with heat and air conditioning is worth more than an open ROPS machine.
Tires and attachments
Worn tires are a near-term cost. Buckets, forks and other attachments add value.
