I drove a ton of these machines. i use to work on alot of them
at the shop. my opinion is. the best all round skidsteer
for work and price. is a 1998 to 2000 bobcat 863.
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...

John Deere 2520 , R4's , 200CX loader with 61 inch bucket and JD Tooth Bar. And Markham 7 tooth. Tooth bar. 46 Backhoe with 16 inch bucket. with Custom made Street Flip pads off a 448 hoe.

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

I have a question about a 520 Bobcat that I am getting back into shape.
The unit bucks quite a bit. I rebuilt the foot linkage for the lift arms and it is sweet now.
Did some repairs on the steering linkage and it appears that I made the bucking worse!
I am brand new to this and would appreciate some pointers. It will buck hard enough on a hard surface to lift the wheels.
