Toolcat 5610 F and 5610 G Series Pictures

[Xfaxman]

Took these to send to Bobcat of OKC for a trade in allowance on a new 5610 Series G with Traction Control.

He came back with $40,000, so we said order it. :thumbsup:

Wow nice! What did you pay for it new? Just wondering how well they hold their value? They seem to hold their value fairly well from what I've seen.

Never mind found it earlier in the thread! $55k out the door. So you've had it since December 2012 and from the pic you have 266 hours on it. So you've had it 54 months, 266 hours on the unit and it dropped in value (at least for trade in) by $15k.
That's about $56 per hour in value drop or $277 per month of ownership. Not to bad.
Obviously yours is an extremely well taken care of, single owner unit with low hours. Only about 5 hours per month of ownership! That's not bad at all.

Nice unit and I am excited to see your updates on the new unit when it arrives. I think I have Toolcat envy.

Curious about one thing, how much do you use the rear PTO on that? I've seen kits to add a 3 point to a 5600 pretty easily and I like the idea of the dump bed. Still torn on which way I would go if I was able to get a toolcat for myself.
Here is the manufacturer of the 3pt. 3-point hitch - Farmboy HD | UTV Hitchworks - Maineville, Ohio
And some videos of it in action:

I've even discussed modifying their 3pt to have two cylinders and put a 25hp hydraulic PTO in the middle of it. I think could be done but a person would have to run the high flow hydraulics all to the back of the unit to power the PTO.

A guy can dream...LOL

Used the PTO on one job digging post holes with a borrowed post hole digger.

Running the front mount brush hog is the Toolcat's main job and my wife does most of that.

We got it last week, just hadn't posted the pictures yet.

$20,602 plus the 2013 trade in.

First modification, lowered the rear work lights so they don't get hit by tree branches.

Used some small thin aluminum angle and a 5/16" bolt threaded clear to the head.

First job with the new G, move some hand loaded brush to the burn pile.

Careful careful! No scratches just yet!

Scratches don't bother me, they don't affect how it operates.

It will get scratched when we start using the 7' brush hog.
