howcome i hear nothing about the kubota wheeled skid steers? why do they not make a regular door on the cab an option. seems like they are weeding out all the people like me who do not care for the roll up door. the old john deere roll up door was not exactly a hit. the only reason i would consider a kubota is because there is a small chance they will offer me pilot controls still.
i still have major problems with electric controls and with people who claim they are anywhere close to manual controls as far as productivity. i been running them for 2500 hours now and they work fine in ideal conditions, and i say I operate in ideal conditions... pretty much never. if i was getting paid by the hour to drive a skid steer, i would love the electric controls.
how come none of the case people seem to be outraged that their sweet servo controls do not exist anymore? it seems to me the case servo controls were the way to go, even though i never operated them much.
im not impressed with the longevity of the 10 inch michelin radial skid steer tires. got 1000 hours on them and there is serious wear on the outside part of the tread. they might make it another 400 hours. i hear the 12 inch ones last longer.
we bought the bobcat s570 standard machine to supplement the jcb. bobcat makes a bad a** ride that can get stuff done fast. when we look to trade the jcb i might consider another jcb depending on what their new design looks like; but unless i feel it is irresistible (and it very well might be) we will probably get another bobcat.
