    new holland lx985- keep or buy new?

    frogfarmer, thanks for the info No it does not get used every day but it gets used in spurts. I can deal with downtime, just not when its 20 deg out and there is a foot of snow falling. Thats when they break so I just try to prepare for the worst. Bushings, pins and hoses I can deal with...

It has 2300 hrs on it, has seen some hard use and its a little loose and I am sorta woried about what might go wrong in the next 700+ hrs. Any idea what tends to...

    wow this was an old post, thanks for the info though. I have run it for about a year now and liked the NH so much I just sold a much newer bobcat and kept the older NH. I went through the machine greese filters etc... and I do know that there is one drive chain that has way more play in it...

    backhoe or loader for snow?

    thanks for the quick reply and pics. I guess I really don't have much use now for the backhoe as we mostly use skid steers in the summer months. If we ever need something dug I just have it done with a mini-ex. If there is not much difference as far as snow performance I guess I would rather...

    backhoe or loader for snow?

    I do not have much use for either during the summer months, but need a machine for snow work. It will have to be able to push a 12' snow pusher and stack and load some snow. I just figure that if I have a backhoe I might find occasional use for it during the summer months, but wheel loaders...

    hyundai 730 any good?

    I am thinking of buying a 2000 hyundai 730-3 wheel loader. Has about 5000 hrs on it It has the deutz in it. It will be used mainly for snow work. Anyone have any experience with this machine? Any problems that they may have?

    NH 985 wheel question

    I have heard that the snow wolf tires completely transform a skid into a pushing beast. They are expensive cause they come with rims.

    I got a used new holland lx985. Full cab w/heat 2 speed, the thing seems to be a nice machine, bucket pins have some slop and the steering levers are off a little bit but otherwise it runs great with plenty of power. I have used it for snow with a 10' pusher for the last 2 months and am...

    my new toy

    Dont mean to hijack the thread but I cant post here yet I guess. I am currently looking to add another skid for snow work. I checked out a pt80 yesterday and was quite impressed. Is the pt80 really that good in the snow? I have only operated rubbertired machines. I want to be able to put a...

    Pt-80

    I am reseraching the same thing. I tried out a pt 80 yesterday. I am told that they are the only tracked machines that will push a 10 ft pusher with no problem. An aquaintence I know has 3 of them. Loves them for snow work, he says he can actually climb the snowbanks and dump snow on the...
