A few questions about new skid steer

[JRP]

Before buying my T190 I spent time talking to bobcat mechanics. I value their opinion more than the sales person. They told me the electronics of joysticks give more trouble, a lot more trouble, than the standard hydraulic controls. Look at what rental companies buy - standard controls. Why? less trouble. Rental companies also get the deluxe instrument package. The diagnostic data is very good, as is the security.

I'm amazed with my T190. Have you considered a compact track loader?

Skids are heavier and tougher which means they work better on hard ground and worse on soft ground.

That's been my experience also. She'll move some snow with that 73 inch blower though!
