How do you Bobcat owners really like your machines?

[sqdqo]

I am just curious how you Bobcat tractor owners really like your machines? I have been reading all I can find regarding the Bobcats and like what I see so far. I am just curious how real owners feel about them.

I just got a new to me (66hrs on it) CT335 last week. I have since put almost 10 hrs on it with 75% of it being FEL use. Within 10 minutes of mounting the machine, I was fully aware of every control and switch. Whoever designed this machine should get an award for driver comfort/use. Every switch, every control is perfectly placed.

Tons of pulling/pushing/digging power. Lifts full buckets of dirt like its not even there and moved a full size Bobcat machine loader bucket (800lbs) without even trying.

The CT335 comes standard with MANY items that are optional (as in give us more money) on all the big names and a comparably equipped Kubota or JD is at least $4K-6K more.

So far, I am absolutely thrilled with my machine.

Most BCs are so new, it's hard to really judge long term. You should also do some reading in the Kioti forum. Same tractors, different loaders.

I have 61 hrs on my CT335 and I love both the machine and the dealer. Both sides of that coin are important. Have a small problem with rocks entering the front brakes and making an awful squeal. Just back up and hit the brakes. Good machine but the long-term results are not in yet.

I have a SST and cant say enough good things about it. Fit, finish and comfort are great. Power is awesome but heck it is a 50hp.
