How big of a skid steer do I need

[pdqdl]

Around here BOBCAT is having some tough economic times they have closed there store near me and plan to close another in central jersey , now you have to order all parts online and wait for the service truck for warranty work or run it 2 hours up north , Bobcat may be on its way out ..

That may just be a regional problem for your area. Perhaps poor dealer support led to poor market penetration?

There are many more bobcats than any other brand. Around here, when you see a skid steer, it is usually a Bobcat. Case and Caterpillar make regular appearances, and the really big contractors like the Takeuchi track loaders. I can't remember the last time I saw a New Holland, Gehl, or ASP.

KC Bobcat has this area tied up, and their service is pretty good, too.

It seemed a bit weird too me as well , I know they had some really bad mechanics there , but the next dealer is almost 60 miles from here .. I would like to think that there service truck mechanic won't be a complete dope since he will be handling all my service work now ...
