Looking at a bobcat T 650 or 750 Pros or cons?? What other brands or models are good??? I have only ran Deere and newholland wheeled machines.. TIA
Bobcat has a nice wheel machine but their track machines have a lot to be desired. For fine precise grading and heavy dirt work, nothing will run with a Takeuchi. Second pick would be a Kubota. All the rest are a wash. Deere is very easy to service, good power, and great lifting capacity, but the controls are not as nice as Tak and Kubota. Also they dont have the overhead door, which is a deal breaker for me. Look at the tracks on the Tak and Kubota compared to the Bobcat....theres nowhere for mud to go on the Bobcat. The Tak and Kubota have a lot of open space for mud to fall thru. It will still build up in the tracks but it has somewhere to go instead of getting packed in there. Our Bobcat gets pretty sluggish and doesnt want to do much when the tracks get full.
