for rental, i have case now but looking maybe to add a dif brand. most people in my area like case and jd. i have test drove nh & gehl like how they road. my mechanic's liked how they could get 2 everything with ease. the visibility on the case is bad. i wasn't impressed with the jd, (but i have a personal problem with jd) and i don't like there controls. and i had bobcats most people in my area would rather use case than the bobcat.

What I meant was, do you want to lift? Push? Better visibility? The Case and Gehl offerings are radial lift, and neither machine will lift as much as the NH (and especially Gehl) you've mentioned. Hence my question about lifting.

if u look at the specs of the skids i posted they r pretty close in all of the specs. service is pretty much the same from the dealers, just looking for a personal opinion on any of them.

I'm aware that the specifications are the same, but you will feel more comfortable in a vertical lift machine. I have a typo on my previous post -- I meant to say NH and Deere* have the best lift capacity out there.

Since I have zero experience on the machines themselves, I won't be able to give a personal opinion. And since I still don't know what you want to do with the machine, I still can't give you an idea of which is best. I could talk you to death on features, but it won't matter if the machine isn't suited for your application. I'm sure some people will disagree with that concept, so have a ball.
