Thanks again to everyone. I do appreciate it.
I have made the decision to go with the Bobcat. You all have helpped me a lot. I like to buy it once rather than buy cheap and buy twice. From what everyone has said, I am not worried about the quality issue anymore. The Bobcat is just less expensive not cheaper than the deere.
TWR - we have a similar program in NC but you have to have a minimum amount of revenue from agriculture which I do not meet. The revenue from the horse riding lessons my wife gets does not count unfortunately. It sure would help.
Island Tractor - thanks for the clarification. The free
FEL is a huge discount in Bobcat's favor.
