    Best type of older skidsteer?

    I've never heard many complaints from the Bobcat crowd really at all. My machine was darn old, and damn beat up. I still laugh at how hard I worked it. I can't blame it for the way it was after all those years of hard abuse. But, I'm looking at the 1845, new holland LX665, or a bobcat 863 or...

    Compaction wheels for skid steers

    those "wheels/claws" look like they would put the drive system under some serious stress, and if you had to go on pavement/cement - forget it!

    Chaincase removal? Bobcat 463

    Wow. Looks like a big job. How often do these give problems? Would ALL skidloaders have this drive system? Such as a CASE 90XT, Bobcat S300? I thought only my older bobcat had it, and I thought they were all gear driven... but I guess not...

    What is it worth?

    Just a thought but, if I was going to go bigger I would take a peek at a CASE or a Bobcat S300/T300. Personally, I'd rather have a big case or a big bobcat, and a small loader for light jobs. My boss has 2, and believe it or not we've been using the gigantic case less than we've been using...

    Best type of older skidsteer?

    I'm going to be buying another older skidloader for a project I have soon, and it wont be a very expensive one. Anyway, I was looking at the new holland L-series, and the bobcat 753, 763, and the case 1845c. Which of the before mentioned do you recommend will be a good buy for an older machine...

    Becoming a Hydraulic Excavator Operator: Tips

    you know what. i'm not picky about how new the equipment is, what kind it is, what jobs i'll be doing, or how much i'll make (as long as it's reasonable). I'll run a piece of sh1t if I have to. As long as I'm getting experience Within the machine. That's key. Some company's won't give you the...

    Killed my brand new Cat 247b

    shouldn't have buggered up. the case has a cummins 3.9L and it's run at those angles (or damn near close) without any trouble.... could the oil level have been down ?
