Any input on a volvo 58, good or bad. Looking at it to put a drive head on for helical pier instalation.

I don't like the mounting of the engine on the side of the cab. There are two in my area. Owners say that they don't lift real well for their size. I think that their stability is poor due to the configuration of the engine in relation to the cab. They have noted some break downs but over they seem to run just not as well balanced or as smooth as some other machines.
