Been looking long and hard to replace a blown up CT322. I've narrowed down my search to 2 machines I'm looking at. I've chosen these 2 machines mainly because of specs and endless research re. issues etc. A 2010 Case 420CT and a 2007 Gehl 60. Both have about the same amount of hours at about 1250. Both were acreage machines. In my area the dealer support would be better for the case, but gehl parts would not be that hard to get as a good gehl network is only a state away. The machine would be used for general landscape construction/excavation hauling materials, pallets. etc. Thinking 3k lift 3 feet off the ground is about all I need. The case would be about 2K more to buy.
Buying new isn't an option for a skid steer as I'll put maybe 150 hours a year on it = cant justify the payments. Rental isn't an option as some days we only need to move 4 pallets 80ft. to make the job easier.........
What would your choice be and why
