A friend of mine says he knows a retired plumber that has a Bobcat mini backhoe for sale that is powered by a gas engine, anyone heard of such a model, I'm sure it was one of the first backhoes bobcat sold if true...
No idea what the first model was, that was long before my time with the company. I do know Bobcat started out in mini-excavator business purchasing machines from Komatsu. At that time the 231 was the most common sold. Then Bobcat started building their own with 331 to replace the 231.
What is the model number of the machine for sale?
A quick Google search didn't find anything. Is it possible your friend doesn't know the difference between a backhoe and trackhoe?
I've seen mini backhoes at the rental yard like this although not made by Bobcat.

Bobcat made a B250 backhoe. Although it's not gas powered and not all that mini weighing 6700 pounds.
