I am looking at upgrading my skidsteer, it is currently a 18hp Bobcat. I am looking at a 2, a JD 7775 or a JD 250. The one 7775 has 3100 hrs on it and has been repainted and through the shop, and the 250 has 1700hrs. Is 3100hrs alot for a skidsteer? What were some of the issues with these 2 models? Does and one run these, and what are your opinions. My biggest reason for upgrading is my bobcat doesnt have enough hp for dirt moving and ground work, and is short on power when cleaning the barn in spring. I was thinking I want to stay around the 50hp mark just for size and use, kinda want to do some landscaping in the off seasons and use it to help with picking round bales. (I only have one loader tractor so on the farther fields it would be handy).
