Takeuchi is just garbage.
That's funny.
You stick with your 8 inches of clearance, bolt on undercarraige, plastic hydraulic tank, low horse power landscaping tool, bobcat and I'll stick to a real machine.
Takeuchi has planetary final drives, designed to be a track loader not a skid steer with the wheels taken off and a track bolted on. The Takeuchi isn't even in the same class as a Boobcat. whatever your buddy did to tweaked the arms would have snapped your bobcat arm right off...Pa - leeeeeeees.
Check the size of your front idelers...the Takie crawls over rock/logs that would stop other CTLs. I can't get it stuck. The thing is a beast.
If your buying a CTL, there's only one choice.
