My 2011 F-series has been the coolest piece of equipment I have ever owned. I was concerned about buying it for a primary workhorse around the farm due to the narrow central boom and concern about twisting it. I have used an 80" dozer blade and cut ditches with it, dug all kinds of ways with the 62" bucket. Latest attachment is 60" brushmonster bush hog for the front which is absolutely awesome. Can literally clear a path through the woods with this thing. Augers, forks, you name it, the toolcat does it. My six year old drives the toolcat to help me around the house and she loves it. My wife can use it. It snowed down here this week and since I only live 9 miles from work, I drove the Toolcat on the bad roads to work today! Gotta love it. I use the 90" mower to cut the grass and my 2 girls ride shotgun. No other piece of equipment could do all this. I got the 0% financing and in 4 months it will be paid off. I only have 410 hrs on the machine so far as I don't use it every day.

I'm just stoked because I got to drive it to work today. I've always wanted to, and the bad roads gave me the perfect excuse.

:thumbsup: Bet that was the coolest ride at work ! Saw one on a dealer's truck the other day with a sander on the back and a vplow up front, slick set up .

There's the toolcat in my parking spot at work. People at work laughed about it but the ice on the roads was too good an opportunity to pass up. No other way to justify driving this beast to work

What kind of grapple is on your 5610?

BOBCAT Industrial grapple. I replaced some of the original tines with longer pieces I cut from used boat prop shaft. I also had to cut a section out of the hydraulic cylinder cover so it wouldn't hit the Toolcat hose manifold when retracted.

Re: Toolcats are AWESOME

I think this awesome thread needs an awesome bump. :D

Just so everyone knows, it has 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steer and 4 wheel independent suspension.

With the front wheels off the ground.

With a load on the front wheels.

It handles the 6' wide, 1 cubic yard bucket better than I thought it would.
