Re: Skid Steer City
The Izuzu engine in that one is famous for leaking oil. Open the back door and see if the bottom doesn't have a layer of oil laying in it. This only matters is you're gonna park it on a customer's nice driveway. I see that one does have the hydraulic takeoff, so that'll be handy for renting snazzy attachments. You're right, though, that one is pretty friggin clean. Did it have a "DuPont overhaul"?

Re: Skid Steer City
You should paint over the "cat" on the side. That when you want one of your guys to get it you can just say "go get the Bob" or "go get me". The look of confusion on any new guy's faces will make for some fun!

Re: Skid Steer City
It's got the kubota 4 in it.
I didn't think about covering Cat, might just do that. Bob

Re: Skid Steer City
You mean I came up with a joke you didn't think of Bob?
Wow, I'm shocked. It was the first thing that came to mind when I saw it

Re: Skid Steer City
If you warm them with a hair dryer, those vinyl decals come off pretty easily and cleanly. Yes, just saying "Bob" would be funnier.

Re: Skid Steer City
Guess I was just too busy puking and pissing blood from the financial damage I just did.

Re: Skid Steer City
It'll be okay Bob, RobertCDF and I are starting an internet "Tool Buyers Anonymous" group. You've just qualified for gold status with a purchase like that!

Re: Skid Steer City
Here is my baby I bought in 03 she was spanking new and as of right now it has a whopping 250 hrs on it.
 If I only had a dollar for everyone who says "can I borrow it from ya"  Current attachments are toothed and smooth bucket, grapple bucket, pallet forks, tree shear and a trailer hitch ball to move my boat into my special place in my shop In laws had a tornado blow by their house a couple of years ago and let me tell you that S300 bobcat with grapple and my dump trailer just kick a$$. By the end of the day we were friends with everyone on the block.  Nate |

Re: Skid Steer City
Schweet toy Bob, makin me jelious!! For my budget bobcat's are the only thing priced in the range I'm debating, but I cannot stand foot controls and suck at them growing up on hand controls...called my bobcat dealer to see what retro fit hand unit retailed for and lets say I'm back to looking for a case LOL!!

Re: Skid Steer City
7,900.00 too much. Fellas like me should get our crap for free.
I think it's a good buy. The previous owner swears by it and expected a little more. Bob
