Hi Clay,

A couple of thoughts in response to your questions.
1. We are looking at new machines because we do not think there is enough savings in going to used (in the hour range we would be interested) to justify not buying new.
2. We are basing our hours/year estimate on the Bobcat we have had on the farm for the last 12 to 14 years. The larger machine will let us do more (lifting/pushing wise) and thus might increase the amount of work we do with the loader. However, with the two speed transmission, and the increased power/capacity, we should be able to accomplish our tasks more efficiently. But then again, who knows, we might discover an entire new set of uses for the machine once we have it on the farm.

Thanks for your input, Clay.

Ryan
