70hp turbo it is a nice machine. and can be bought resonable.
and its almost bullet proof.

yes there are newer machines with full cab heat and ac.
and rubber trac's but there 50 to 60 grand. but the 863 is a digging
beast. and we saw less problems from this than any other skidsteer

Chris...
This season alone, I rented a Bob cat S250 (full cab) series usually at 4/5 days at a shot, 8 times....I like em a lot so I know what I need powerwise, it may not be Bob cat, looking at Deere or NH
