Look close!! Sometimes its a great deal, sometimes not! You have to be careful, some of the equipment they sell off is like new, some of it is ready to die!! I bought an aerator off of a rental store once, it was a 30" or so Kees. $250 :) I made that pick within the first few hours and made it back 100 times after that. That was one of the best investments I made into my biz and it was only $250!! Anyway, that was about 5 years ago and I sold it to another company owned by a friend of mine, and he works it for 1 month + straight every spring!

Point is, look at them good because some may be a great buy, but some good be a disaster.

Be Careful, and good luck! Let us know how you do!

Look for temporary fixes on the machine.
Not knocking rental places but their equip.
takes a beating.Rentals are in buisiness
to make money.Why have they decided to sell it.
Could be they just want to go with a different machine
or something.Black and white smoke and engine engagement
are areas Id look hard at.LOOK FOR SMOKE UNDER A LOAD.
