Those things are huge. I wonder what size of trees the big one will take down, since they had to build a framework around the cab to keep them from falling on it...
They look to be single-purpose machines, however. Meanwhile a recent post on the Toolcat forum says Bobcat is coming out with a smaller version of the Toolcat, more appropriate for homeowner use.... A Toolcat would be neat, but I don't plan on spending that amount of $$ on the garage, much less on a tool to store in it....

Here's a link to a photo I took in January, 2004 of one that I saw near a lake that I go ice fishing at. It was a beast, for sure. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Yikes, that thing is POWERFUL and HUGE! I can hear my 180 wimpering in the shed from here!
Although 225 HP at 24,500 lbs leaves even the 180 at a better power to weight ratio! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif And the 4xx series is even better!
