Mine has a Rhino built loader, tractor is a 2009 model. 2010 models and after have a Bobcat built loader. I have no problems/complaints with mine, but the Bobcat built loader is a little heavier duty and has better fit of the pivot pins so has less slop in the bucket. They will lift more than rated capacity, the rating is based on what the tractor can safely balance with load centered and on fairly level ground. If you don't follow instruction in the Operator manual regarding counter-weighting you are more likely to tip the tractor before doing any damage to the loader. It WILL lift more the specified.
@ 15k for a 225 (if equipped with R4 GP tires) with the current programs, dealer is not taking a great profit. His actual invoice from Bobcat + freight is more than that. He is using the rebate to cover remaining expenses and leave a little for profit. You might be able to get him to through in the dual rear remotes or some other dealer installed options if you work him a little. Remember "cash is King" and time is running short, Bobcat would like to have all inventory sold before end of 2013.
