I need some help working through the sales FUD that I am getting from my bobcat dealer and the QA sales team.
I have a toolcat C turbo with standard flow.
The QA guys have a 61 or 73 inch blower with the 14 to 7 pin adapter and shipping for $5K. The recommend the 73 saying I will have the power and you want it wider than the toolcat's 61" width. QA says their is a much better unit than bobcat - who knows if that is true.
The bobcat guy says - 73 is too wide and it won't work well with the wide range hydrallic motor that QA offers (says Bobcat's are tuned to specific gpm ratings). The 60" bobcat with the 5.5 motor package is $6K including the 7 pin setup that I need in either case.
It looks to me a few hundred dollars difference (after the 7 pin gets installed) and the advantage of having a local dealer standing behind the bobcat unit.
I know some of you have one of these units - any advice? This is a big ticket item and I don't want ANY regrets on this.
