What in your opinion is the best mid size (2000lbs) skid loader? I only really have experience with Bobcat, case, and cat. My opinion is the Cat 246c. I just bought the cat a few months ago after running quite a few other brands. I mean best over all taking all aspects into account. Just curious

Have had an 873 Bobcat we bought new in '98. We haven't had any issues with it aside from a bad head gasket. It's been a great machine; lots of power, easy to maintain, great visibility, agile, etc. I love that machine! I've never ran a Cat skidsteer or a newer Case so can't offer any insight into them...

I currently own a Case 85XT, Bobcat 743B, and a NewHolland. I've owned other bobcats and a Gehl once. Still love my CASE the best.
