They are both great machines pending the condition they are in (as Rob mentioned), use they have had and care they have received. It is my understanding also that the power shift is all heavy duty gears and a differential. Neither is a creamfuff though so even if used a lot if it was taken care of that is more important. I like them both. How much are they asking is a factor also.
