worst case, you will have to spend 150 bucks for some new couplers. mind if i ask what you paid for it, how many hours are on it, and what you do with it?

It's a Racoon Ht50 I paid $7587 for it with 262 hrs
It's for a scarp yard sorting with a grapple bucket and a broom

It's got a perkins what kind of dozer is that it is a good machine for what it is
It's one of those little Chinese dozers, pretty light, only 6,500 lbs., and yes, it's very good for what it is.

The pump is 16 gpm. I run a backhoe and a wood spliter off it with no problems . I think it might have a problem, with a big hammer or large brush cutter, but I have never tried one. There is also a larger hydraulic pump available, but I don't think it would do much good if you didn't increase the hose, the valve, and the coupler sizes also. Overal the machine has good balance with a 2000 lb attachment on the front. Has a long wheel base, that makes it a bit tough on tire wear. The perkins uses about 1 gal per hour on full load.

I think these may also be known as Wombat Skid Steer Loaders in Australia. There is information and a pdf brochure available from the Australian distributor - just google WOMBAT SKID STEER LOADER.
There have been several posts about these, (Wombats), on this forum.
I believe they have either a ChinaPerkins or ChinaNissan engine.
I did look at these loaders before I bought my Toyota Huski, (as you have found, one can get a low hour machine for few dollars), what I found was that users fell in to one of two groups. The lovers and the haters.
I hope your machine works out for you.

I have a HT-65, racoon and I have no complaints with it. It has a perkins, air conditioning,heat, bucket leveling. It's very stong, and sure footed. veiw from cab only fair. Only complaint is trying to get maitanence parts and maintanence documents. The super part of it all is the price, you can buy two of these for the same amount for one case or New Holland equivilant. I think the introduction of these machines was at the wrong time, and china did not want to spend the money to set up a parts suport and service network in the USA. So they lost out.... To intoduce them again now to the usa is going to be very costley and difficult. There is also a Magnum skid steer group that is also the same product built By Hero Time Machinery Co. It looks to me that most of the parts in the machine are not made in china but are surplus from other companies. It looks like they took parts and features from bobcat, case, new holland,cat, and a few others,picked the best and came out with a decent machine. The only thing they left oiut was a service and Sales plan. I only put about 200 hrs a year on the machine and have had only minor problems. I have found no parts in the usa for racoons, but they are out there if you can find the part # of the other manufacturers parts...
