That is a pretty broad question. What do you intend to do with the machine, landscape, excavation, operate on grass, woods, asphalt, pallet forks/hardscape, load trucks, need high flow for stump grinder, cold planer, brush cutting, need ground speed, need ground clearance, is width a concern? You'll get plenty of opinions on these two and I'm sure some others, but the best thing would be for you to operate each one of them to see how you like them. By the way....PT100

You might want to try out the ASV PT100 Forestry machine. I think it is the only "rubber-tracked" machine built by an OEM made for brushcutting. I understand that the older ASV RC100 had some axle issues at one point. I know a contractor up here in WI that is in his second summer with the ASV that he bought and he hasn't had any problems in just over 900 hours. I think ASV replaced all of the wheels so that they now use metal face seals and I think they beefed up the axles. The machine comes standard with a fully pressurized cab and an automatic reversing fan so that it blows debris out of the cooler. The belly pans are also hingd so that it is easy to clean out the engine compartment. I do know that there is nothing from an OEM on the market that can touch the hydraulic hp that the machine puts out- 40gpm@3,650psi. Like I said yesterday, you should demo all of the machines you decide to consider.
