Hi all...1st post as new member. Closing in the purchase of a new mini. I've settled on a 4 ton class machine, and narrowed my choice to the Bobcat E42 or the Kubota KX040-4. Interested in opinions, good or bad on those choices. And for that matter, if I'm overlooking other models or brands I should be considering. In my area, Bobcat, Kubota, Cat, and Deere all have good dealers.
Should preface with stating that I'm a private user, not a for-hire business. I've got a large (several hundred acre) piece of hunting land. A majority of the work I'll be doing it trail and road building, ditching, and some stumping/forestry work. For trail work, the width of the 4-ton units I'm looking at are about as wide as I want to go. Weight wise, I can handle the 4-ton machines with the truck and trailer setup that I have...another plus.
Thanks,
Brian
