What do you think about these? Does anyone here own one? Look at all those attachments.......wish I would have known about these before I bought the RTV!

not a fair comparison i believe the toolcats are over 40k plus attachments.

Yes but you would have probably spent about another $20K to $25K for the Toolcat.

Soreback,

I own one. There is a forum for Toolcats here on TBN. If you are interested in learning more about them read through the various posts. A lot of good info.

It is a different animal and like the others said comes with a different price tag.

My regrets just flew out the window!!!!! Jeepers, that's a lot of moo-la! I had to lay it on pretty thick, to the misses/boss, just to justify the RTV price! Still, a cool machine!

Soreback,
As stated earlier, these machines are a totally different beast...56 HP, can tow 5000 lbs., hydraulic dump bed can haul 2000lbs., the FEL moves upwards of 2500 to 3k lbs. and it handles the same 50+ attachments as any skid steer. As such, they are priced accordingly.
Visit the Toolcat discussion for more information.

odleefs,

Don't get me wrong, it's a machine I would love to own! Also, the price seems in line with all its capabilities. I would have seriously considered selling my skidsteer and pooling the RTV money for one if better educated. The skidsteer, even with tracks, can beat the daylights out of you and is murder on my lawn. I'm going to visit the site to ren more info! Thanks
