    They have always been reliable machines for us, we had some issues with hand controls in the early 2000's but not anything since.

    I think it didn't take the farmer long to get the hang of that new machine.
    Your little one is having a great time riding with Daddy in the cab as well and a nice video thanks.

    We had a New Holland 232 and it was horrible. No bucket rollback power at all. Our dealer support was a joke as well. Tried a Bobcat and Deere and ended up with a 332 Deere and it's amazing. Tell your New Holland Dealer your unhappy and gonna trade. That'll get them thinking. Best of luck to you guys!

    We have a S510 with joystick controls only issues we have is that we have tight spaces and it's a lil long but it doesn't look like you have that issue. Other than that no problems. If you don't buy the bobcat I would suggest a Gehl. We have a a Gehl 3510 as well and that has been a good machine as well. If you can dump that POS NH. I have a video of it on my channel.

  • @richarddecker9515
    @richarddecker9515 6 років тому +2

    I have three 873 and New s770, I put over 12,000 hrs on the four. I put 2,400, on the s770, in a year and half. Mine is only a single speed, foot control. The wheel studs break a lot. And it needed a new starter. It’s 40 percent bigger than my 873s . My next one might be a Gehl v420. I lift stones. And bigger is better. I hate bobcat door, I broke it and a side window. I wish the door opened over head, like kubota.i am very happy that I bought the s770.

    Hey Farmer how are you bud?? Hey I own my self two of those S-770 on our farm in Tennessee and they are great loaders, Bobcat has a great dealer and service network to where every time I had issues they have NOT left me down... My dealer takes very good care of us and our equipment so if you had the opportunity to change over and buy that machine I would encourage you to, you will not regret it... Good luck to you and your family and keep the great work, you farm look better every day... My best to you...

  • @Dan.Whiteford
    @Dan.Whiteford 8 років тому +1

    I know nothing about skid steers at all and have never operated one but are they all as light on the front as that one appears to be? - very tip-toey coming up / down those slopes empty! It does seem to have good lift capacity but everything seems a little too jerky and ot too smooth at those engine revs.
    Also are there buckets and bale spears slightly wider than the tyres available? That would drive me nuts them being narrower than the wheelbase.

    • @jeffdebernardi7058
      @jeffdebernardi7058 7 років тому +1

      Dan Whiteford: Sure its a little jerky but you get used to it, to the point where you can control it. (its the price you pay to be able to turn on a dime...) There are more attachments, in many many different widths, than you can imagine. OEM and after market. Bobcat is the best, they set the standard.

    • @jayphillips4058
      @jayphillips4058 7 років тому

      I have an '05 A300 that I use for my small sitework business, got it used with 500 hours. It's man enough to do a fair bit of work, and the all wheel steer is a great option. Will see what the long term reliability is like. It is super easy on tires, a bit slower than other machines I've run but certainly does the job, and barely mars the dirt and/or pavement where I work. A flip of a switch in-cab and you're in conventional skid-steer mode for tight spots. Old enough to avoid the Tier IV nightmares and expense.

    Not to sound like a jerk or anything but there was a picture in the beginning that had the lift arms raised and no person in the cab, that is highly unsafe too many injury's have been caused that way. Just don't want to see anyone get hurt.

  • @billwhitman1529
    @billwhitman1529 8 років тому +4

    I figure you guys have a bigger problem than picking a new skidsteer. Getting out of your current piece is going to be the trick. I would think that Bobcat might find it beneficial to help you make that happen but who knows? Bobcat makes a quality product. Their skidsteers are excellent and fairly bomb-proof. Easy to operate and work on.

    @derrickzenner9300 8 років тому +4

    I've only used new Holland and cat. new Holland are very stable and will do way more than they're rated for plus great visibility. cat very unstable and poor visibility and didn't like the feel of the left joy stick. also if you don't have any attachment on the cat it will tip backwards with the slightest incline so then you're forced to back in which has no visibility but at the same time it will tip forward with a pallet of barn lime. the bobcat looks good. the neighboring farm has gone back to bobcat after trying a Case.

      David Wells yeah you obviously never ran one. My fire crew has to use the Deere models in the summer to do controlled burns. They have the lifting power but not the right weight in the ass they’re so nose heavy it’s ridiculous. I’m a die hard Deere guy but their skidsteers are ass insides are nice but doesn’t make up for the lousy lifting compacity. Bobcat is phenomenal we got the chance to demo 4 of these at a time on a controlled burn and they we just awesome everything about them is perfect. Perfectly balanced and everything.
