    wheel loader or loader backhoe??

    If you do go the backhoe route, I believe the 310SE and SG have the same lift capacity on the loader as the 410. This may help you find a better deal as you will have a broader range of machines to buy from.

    Why no prices advertised on websites?

    Let the salesman call you. let them know what you’re looking for, and if they are any good they will get you a price. I’ve gotten prices before without meeting anyone in person.

    Erratic drive motor power

    If this could be the problem can I polish the scratches and try it out. Do I have anything to loose by trying? And how would you go about removing the scratches.

    Erratic drive motor power

    I was removing all the hydraulic fittings so they would not get lost and this plunger started sliding out. So I decided to take a look at it and I found scoring all around the bottom side. Think this could be the problem?

    Erratic drive motor power

    Got the assembly off. The tag on the motor was rotted off and all I could see what a bit of shinny blue. You guys think I should just send this to a hydraulic shop for rebuild. Bobcat wants $5500cnd for the whole thing. Machine has 1700hrs on it.
