Purchased a 2008 S 185 Bobcat skid steer at beginning of year from widow of fellow who had used the machine since new to plow shared driveway for houses for which my home is one. Paid more than advised on this forum but local dealer gave widow a written appraisal and I could not very well bargain her down i.e. was not about to do so given circumstances. Machine had 250 hours, all plowing snow in the driveway, and now I have it looking pretty good (touch-up paint, car wax, new door seals, etc). This amazing inflation that has come on this year would allow me to sell the machine for at least 20 percent more than I paid, but I need and like the machine. Over the decades I have owned Deere, Cat, Mack, etc. and run Timberjack, CanCar, etc. etc., and Bobcat doesn't have anything to be ashamed of (except if they asked I would tell them to think a little harder about preventing rust). Put 25 hours on it plowing snow Jan. thru spring. Very grateful for the cab and heater. Snow due any time to begin winter again. There is a pretty good chance I will find a car or pickup in the ditch up on the highway when I am plowing. It's common, especially at the beginning of each winter. Compared with my tractor the S 185 really lacks good hardware front or back for hooking up a tow chain or line. With blades and buckets I like to put straight, even pulls on hyd cylinders. I could weld hooks on the bucket and am surprised it has none. Are there obvious places to hook on a chain or tow strap that I am missing?
