More important is what dealers are local to you. What mechanics. That kind of shit. Would suck having a machine with no support within 100miles
totally, thats why no more new holland.
a pro for kubota is that they have a complete repair facility near for things i may not want to do
im shopping them all and i dont need a really big machine either, a 60 to 65 hp skidsteer would do me fine. i like the lifting weights of the 75 hp machines though.
i dont need the tracks.
all the wheeled skidsteers, in this hp class weigh about the same and only slightly heavier than the new hollands we have, so, no probs for our gooseneck and duallys. did i ever say i like electric trailer brakes.
i wasnt going to get the enclosed cab but i reconsidered.
we are small nursery and small ranch, our machines before did everything we needed but maybe only a tad shy of breakout force in the dirt pile. im certain a new machine in the same hp range would do perfect plus. im collecting pool dirt, so many pools are getting dug that they run out of space to dump the dirt, as long as i can stack it after they dump it, i can take it in, just took 6 loads in yesterday.
i havent worked on shopping today, squirrels everywhere, but ill shop them all, thanks for the opinions, and all the more, are appreciated as well
