Ordered MT 100

[KenBike]

Got some hours on the MT100 and really happy with the machine!
It has so much more power to the tracks and boom than the Toro. It has slightly less lift capacity but out preforms the Dingo in all areas.

Looks like you sized up to the 120, how do you like it.

I really like the MT120 over the MT100. I clean out the horse paddock, move brush, firewood, and use it to drag back the soil in the indoor riding arena. The 120 is faster, can pick 1500 lb pallets and still is stable, and the controls are really easy to use. It does not start in the cold worth a **** so I keep it in the shop so no issues. I going to wire the glow plugs onto switch so they remain on once it starts for a few seconds.

That's a good idea about the glow plug, I've seen people sell an aftermarket switch for that.

I am going to get a used mt100, while the extra weight and speed would be nice on the 120, my tractor can do the heavier things for now. Glad to hear the 120 is working out for you, and getting you the power you need!

So far really happy with the MT100 using it to push snow piles back, and clear some areas out. I think it will be the right size for what I need. Guy I got it from didn't do break in fluid changes yet, so I am going to do the oil, hydraulics and coolant Saturday when its nice out. Just hit 100 hours, and two of them are from me learning the ropes. Very capable machines.

I purchased the Bobcat light kit and extra weight kit for the MT100. The light kit was ok, the light very low power so changed them out to BAJA Designs lights and aimed one forward and one to the rear. Used it to push snow and wanted good lighting for the AM/PM pushes.

The extra weight kit really improved how stable it was when driving with loads.

I have 200lbs, and I have them on the rear of the machine near where you stand. I guess you can add up to 400, did you do all 400, or just 200?

Bobcat makes one that goes on the front and you sit on the hood, I know ditch witch can be on another level though!

I added 4 Bobcat weights down on the tracks and 4 on the rear.
Recall they are 40 Lbs each..

Okay, it sounds like I could add a bit more then. The person I bought it from had a general understanding of everything, but didn't seem to have a real deep knowledge. I am changing all fluids and filters over this weekend to give her a fresh start.
