Greene/Orange/Louisa/Albemarle/Madison county Virg | I'll be the odd man here. I'd recommend a new holland. I've had 2 c238's and I believe the new holland is superior to the other mfg. I looked at cat and cab was to tiny. Deere to much money for the name and cab height was to tall (poultry houses). Gehl is junk in my opinion (had a 7810) kubota didn't impress me.
Why I have stuck with new holland. Whatever you buy, get tracks. Wheeled skidsteer is about useless in my opinion. Kind of like a 2wd loader tractor.
Also the c238 did have the highest lift of any ctl, but I believe the other mfg have caught up.
Get you a good used c238 under 1000 hrs and be happy, or buy a new c345 and be happy. Also I highly recommend getting joystick/pilot control |
