I noticed on the Bobcat that I rented, there was a Kubota diesel under the hood. I think that is a tried and true powerplant for any piece of equipment. My friend that told me of his experience with Gehl brand skidsteer, said that it had hand controls for everything except throttle control. That was his reason for liking it over a Bobcat. I personally would buy a Bobcat for the reasons you've stated (parts availability, dealer support). I had no trouble learning to use foot controls, and did not see anything difficult about it. Also, I am 6'5" tall and I fit in the cab pretty well. I was kinda stiff after about 6 hours, but isn't that true with any piece of equipment after extended use? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
