|  Largest Bobcat CT w/FEL for ~$14-15k?
I've just learned that Bobcat makes a CT, and for a good price from what I'm reading. I want the best bang-for-buck for my first tractor. My neighbor made the mistake of using his JD 310SG, now I'm hooked!
I'm looking for nothing fancy: just 4wd, FEL, boxblade, and maybe a backhoe later down the road. I'm just curious which model $14k or so would get me.
BTW, nice website!

From what i have been reading, you could pretty easily get a CT 225,230, or 235 for your price range. I would even caution a guess that you might be able to get a CT335 for 14k (don't hold me to it though). I don't think your going to get a CT 2XX TLB for 14k, but with the free loader offer, i am sure you easily come in under budget w/o a backhoe, but with a fel and a couple nice attachments.
I still can not believe the deals people are getting on bobcats right now, I love my kioti, but if I were buying in this market I would not hesitate to go the bobcat route.
Of course all of this is dealer dependent, find a good dealer that is willing to work with you to accommodate your needs.
happy shopping!

You will be able to get a CT235 for that kind of money. I really doubt you will get into a ct3## frame for under 15k. But you never know, there are some hot deals on these out there.
Let us know what you end up with.

I was quoted $14,942 for CT335 with loader and own financing/cash.. I went with the CT235 that will be delivered friday. I wanted the 335 but couldn't justify the additional cost and couldn't swing the higher payments. | |

I was quoted only a $450 difference between the 230 and 235, so I got the 235. I do have some hills and gnarley woods to navigate so I thought the extra hp would be nice. Not sure what the price difference between the 27 and 30 horse was. | |

todays quotes were 14,900 for the 335 and 13,800 for the 235 with bobtach. That is cash price not including tax (I am ag-exempt) | |

Well, I picked up the CT335 for $14,800-ish, out the door. It's not as powerful as I thought, but again I've been borrowing a John Deere 310SG which rated over 90hp.
Looks like I need something to go on the back because with the loader full it tends to want to roll over
