Spreading bedding material for our water line. Had some great seat time today. Still loving this machine!

Our dealership welded an attacher to the front of their truckbed to make tiedowns easier, faster and safer, quite like that solution (ofcourse still using chains). :thumbsup: I do understand the pain of slow hydraulics, but I don't understand why Bobcat doesn't offer HF-technology (High Flow) in the US, maybe the market just isn't as big there? But from what I've heard and seen it is surely the best hydraulic system in any telehandler and probably will stay the best for a while as Bobcat has patented it. Look at the speed and smoothness of the (previous gen) Bobcat compared to the other machines:

Great video Ken! Yes the operations are definitely smooth. I just wish they made it fast enough to be considered unsafe with the option to dial it back.

that's the one tool I think I'm missing. I was told by a salesman that the 417 et al, had a lot of problems so I bought an excavator instead. I've always thought they would be comfortable to operate, too, compared to getting beat up in my skid steers. If they had more hydraulic power, I'd look at them again for running a mulcher.

That's a load of **** the salesman is telling you. Haven't had any problems (apart from 2 leaks) in the nearly 4000 hours of "heavy-duty" usage it has done for us. For some reason I've heard that many salesmen in America don't like selling these machines and would much prefer selling a SS or Compact Exc. Must be some underlying reason for this...

Reason is same reason that anything new takes a while to get accepted - a combination of ignorance, inexperience and habit.
