Thanks for the detailed update! My dealer didn't tell me about HVAC, and noise updates /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif.

Right now you should be able to buy a new B-series Toolcat for about $5,000 less than the just-starting-production C-series Toolcat. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The suggested list price for the C-series is $1,000 more than the B-series for the base unit, and $560 more for the Cab Enclosure With HVAC option, according to my dealer /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Plus, the Free Cab Enclosure With HVAC manufacturer's incentive program has only been extended for purchase of the remaining stock of B-series units, and does not apply to C-series. The value of this B-series incentive is about $3600 list, including freight/fuel surcharge.

Presumably only those who had an outstanding B-series order that had not been shipped out by the factory at the time of production switchover will receive a C-series unit for the B-series price! Unless you really desire the C-series lift arm improvements, now is the time to get into a Toolcat for $5,000 less than it'll likely cost you in a month or two. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Wow! That Jawz implement is impressive! And the web site is great, too. How much does that thing cost?

Isn't that awsome! You've got to request the CD, it's really cool! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif They quoted me a factory direct price of $3,895+295 Shipping to my Bobcat dealer. The Jawz operator said this product also sells under the Gehl and Edge name brands. I haven't been to those sites yet to see if they are any cheaper? At 34" wide just imagine the various items that could be moved!

Brian,
Thanks for the update, excellent information, as usual. Like Brian wrote, get 'em while their hot...the B series Toolcat is an awesome machine.

Big_Daddy,
Will you be extended the B series price on a C series unit?

I am fortunate...I will be getting a C series at my pre-negotiated B price, but only because I left a 5K deposit previous to the changeover. My dealer keeps apologizing for the delays, but I feel guilty. I mean it isn't like I am without, I still have the demo... trying to keep the hours down on it (<18) but I have had it over a month.
