Don't see anyone talking about these machines, I love that one we use, it has to be the funnest thing to drive if you have the standing tray on the back.

What attachments do you have for it?

I was thinking of picking one up if i could find it for a good price.

I actually got this at a awsome deal, (11K for it all thats Canadian bucks) picked it up from our local BC dealer, it was a '06 with 250hrs, it came with a new bucket and a postal auger. Since then I have bought the LT112 trencher attachment for the machine. I use the trencher to plant saplings around the property and use the auger to plant larger trees. Its just amazing machine all around.

Were abouts are you, I noticed you say local dealer BC and your profile says Ont.

That seems to be a pretty good deal, I notice the one dealer around here had a similar machine BUT just the machine and the bucket, for $14000.

If you get a chance pop some pics up of the machine in action.

I'm just outside of London, near st.thomas. I got the machine from Delta power equipment in forest. It was one of their units off rental, but it was hardly used hencing having 250hrs on it, and the postal auger alone was brand new, it may have been used twice. I got it fiananced over 5 years at 4%, reason I financed it is because I bought also bought a '05 soil conditioner for $5500 that maybe had 10hrs on it, I am going to use it on my case 450CT to groom before planting grass seed.

Give them a call and ask for brad, hes the bobcat sales guy.

That is a nice area. Nice to see you get a deal. I have been looking for some "deals" but know one is really dropping there prices. i though we were in a recession.

Theres plenty of deals out there, and with the recession theres alot more. Browse places like http://www.equipmentalley.com You can get repo machines for sometimes half the price of it new, and these machines are less then a year old, its insanly. Mostly from the southern US.
