what to buy L5030 or a new Bobcat CT450

[southparkjk]

I'm looking for another tractor I have a B2410 now and it just dont have enough HP at 10,000 feet to do the job. So here is what I have found I can get a new Bobcat CT450 fel quick attach bucket cab for around $21,000 with 0% for 60 mo. with trade with 3 yr bumper to bumper warranty. Cat1 3 point

Or I can get a used L5030 with 1113hrs with a cab fel cat2 3 point, quick attach bucket for around $16,000 with trade I would have to go see my bank for a loan and I know it will not be 0%. and no warranty this also has remote hydraulics with a ram on one of the 3 point arms. and it needs new tires on the front, Run great.

I will be just be doing snow removal and yard work and some dirt work. they are HST and 50hp

What do you guys think on this.

Does the Bobcat have a cab?

Yes it dose.

I love my L5030, but it looks like you are going to come out better buying the Bobcat.

I just dont know a lot about the Bobcat (how well made or how long they will last)

They are made by Kioti and you should be able to get some good information from owners there. Many regular posters including IslandTractor and DMace swear by them. We don't have a local dealer, so I have not seriously considered one.

I try to stay on point and answer the question asked, so I only addressed those models you listed. Personally, I would buy a new Kubota L5240 HSTC.

Yeah, I agree with Triple. If you're looking at a new Bobcat, why not look at a new Kubota? What's making you consider Bobcat? Was your B2410 not good to you?
