Well the new T234 arrived night before last and I got to put some time in on it yesterday. It is larger than I expected and appears to be very well built. This SCUT performs far better than what I expected. The lift capacity on the loader is outstanding beimg able to lift and move palms that were cut down previously. When loading dirt into the bucket it will effortlessly dig in with all 4 wheels without stalling. The valving on the loader allows for bucket tilt forward and backward while raising or lowering without searching for a sweet spot as I had noticed the posts on some that do not work this way. Control location was very well thought out and makes everything easy to use. I was a little hesitant about the hydrostatic drive having never had one before but after a few hours I am impressed and can see a lot of time saving just using the pedals and although I laughed when I saw it had cruise control I did some mowing and realized why it was there to prevent fatigue from holding the pedal down. The 5' bucket is a big plus opoosed to the 4' on the others and due to it's extra width, length and weight feel very stable while travelling with the bucket loaded. I am happy with all my questions asked, my months of research and all the comparison. When I told the delivery driver that was the first time I had laid eyes on one he asked if I bought it sight unseen and of course I did because I was confident from the comments I received here and my own research. I had also bought the debris rake from Palletforks.com and was really happy with it also as it will pick up brush and leave the dirt behind, very well constructed. My first impressions is 10 out of 10 for this machine and getting it over $2000 less than others makes me even happier.
