In the market for a bigger skid steer. I am currently running a ASV RC100. I've had it for 10 years and its made me a few bucks. I am not replacing it, I just want something a bit bigger and a track system that is less expensive to maintain.
I am stuck between a Ghel 7810/Mustang 2910 with a VTS track kit or a Kubota SVL90. The Bobcat 870's are out of my price range and I hate the lack of rear visibility.
Everyone tells me that the 7810 is a beast, but on paper its not any bigger or better than the Kubota.
I'm sure the Kubota is made a bit better overall. The Ghel's are cheep but after installing the track kit I'm into SVL90 territory price wise. And the 7810 with the track kit is 88" WIDE! Which means I need a 90" bucket which is a bit of an oddball size.
I've read up on the early problems with the Ghels. Looks like the "newer" E models with the cummins engines are the way to go. Although I have a 100 hp Perkins in my RC100 and I've never had a single problem with it in 2000 hours.
Any feedback on either machine would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!
