Bobcat 753 Skid Steer
Model Year: 1998

I probably could have found a bigger skid steer for a better price but I was ready for one and the 753 popped up. This is my first one. I was trying to choose between a SS and a tractor and this is what I wound up with. It only came with a toothed bucket, that I found out later was very stuck on. If I ever bought another I would get one with more lift capacity and a longer wheel base so it will be more stable and less bouncy.

Pros: Reliability; Power; Maneuverability; Fuel consumption.
Cons: Bouncy and unstable with large loads.

Nice Machine
Model Year: 1997

Just got the machine for around the house. I have forks, 2 buckets, and home adapted snow plow. It seems to work fine. I changed all filters and oil except chain drive oil. I'm a new member. I do have many questions. rebarwes

Pros: Nice machine.
Cons: Not sure.

Good Little Machine
Model Year: 1998

Use it mostly around the house. I have two front buckets, forks, drill, snow plow which also has a receiver for trailer hitch on the skid steer plate after removing plow. So it has many uses. I also have a Case backhoe 580 C. 1985 that is in good shape. It has a cab, with heat. Three buckets with it. I cleaned and reprinted it. It too is useful.

Pros: Very handy, good machine.
Cons: Little small. Pick up 3/4 ton. Better if had enclosed cab.
