Mini-skid Steer Needed


Whatcha got?

Obviously, low hours are a plus. A bucket would be my only imediate need, thought forks and a hoe would be nice too.

Re: Mini-skid Steer Needed


ebay has quite a few decent looking units listed depending where you're located, I got mine from rental outfit fleet turnover, 2-1/2 years zero problems. Should be able to find some steals out there, good luck

Re: Mini-skid Steer Needed


What exactly are you looking for when you say mini skid steer?

I have a Takeuchi TL130 that is going on the market, low hours, very well maintained. It is not a mini.
But I ain't giving it away. No matter what bonesaw says.

Re: Mini-skid Steer Needed


Yeah I ought have mentioned that I am in SE pennsylvania, so obviously something nearby would be nice.

Can't find anything decent on ebay lately.

When I say mini I mean mini, like little 1,000 pounds lift would be nice, but I'd consider less oomph if the price was right, low hours, decent attachment assortment ect. Dngo, ramrod--a bobcat mini track loader would be aces, but would need some decent attachments to go with it since I believe the bobcats are the only ones not universal.

Whatever. I'm sure one will fall into my hands when the time is right.

Re: Mini-skid Steer Needed


Check out united rentals website. See if they have any for sale or rent. They are always selling used equipment. I bought my Bobcat from them and got the warranty with it best 5k I ever spent. Even if its not listed call the stores around and ask if they have one for sale they will know who has one. I like the fact I bought from them and it had the warranty I can operated a little bit but have no maintence ability at all.. I had to use it once since I bought it and it covered about 2k in work.
