We have owned and used this older model TL126 regularly for almost a decade. With one exception, all major components are working good: new seat, fairly new tracks, good strong hydraulics with no known leaks or major droop-downs, mostly excellent undercarriage with some ew rollers, no smoke or problems at all with the diesel engine, all controls work fine (although the instrument panel has been loose for many years and the lights do not work).
The one exception to the above is that the seal leaks on one of the hydraulic final drive travel motors (OEM part no 1903119600), so we have taken it out of service because Takeuchi no longer supports those with new parts, and we've not been able to find a way to rebuild or replace it quickly, so I had to replace the machine with another newer one because it's not something I can do without in my lumber business. The TL126 is still fully operational as is, but the drive motor needs to be manually lubed very frequently and is starting to make noise. We have a couple leads for replacement and plan to pursue that eventually, but the price of $8k is selling as is. Local delivery is available after purchase.
No bucket is included in price, but we have a couple options that can be added. Available to test near Saluda Dam Rd.
