Yes you can get too big for certain jobs here.Had a 110hp Bobcat,with weight kit 5,000 lb possible,animal with bulk loading,tracks over wheels when it was soft as it would sink quick with out.For close work it was poor,terrible grading areas like lawns.Feel and touch you get from a smaller unit were lost.That being said loved it for what it did,one big mass of steel.Lost in shop fire ,when we were loading out carcasses of burned units it was the most difficult to load on truck for scrap.Took 2 excavators.When we got it to the scrap guy it actually broke his boom in half on his magnetic loader.Would still have it but mainly bulk use it would be.It was only one I ever saw that had a rear mounted extendable ripper that would chew up a gravel pack fast.The finesse was not there with hands thats all and huge.
