skid steer

[Duffer]

Hey Guys how much do you use your skid steer, I have a Vermeer wheel model and when i use it its a time saver but you need another truck to pull it . Duffer

My jobs are probably a little different than yours, but I can't imagine being without a skidsteer. The only days that the Bobcat isn't used are the days I'm not working.
In the last 5 years I've averaged over 800 hours a year on the meter.

Does anyone have this model. I like to know with the grapple hook up to the front of the skid steer and i am on cement ( side walk or street) it does not turn, I brought it back to the dealer they have already changed the pr, relief valve but still does not turn ( spin around) we have to go back and forth to get the thing to turn. then it seams to be okay for a little while. The dealer said it should turn on a dime. Duffer

I have owned my bobcat 843b for about 4 years know, but I hardly ever use it. When we have the big stump machine out the skidsteer is usually not far behind. But then again since we bought the portable self propeled grinder the big machine usuall sits Hence so does the bobcat. When we use it its worth its weight in gold but I am debating weather or not its cost effective to keep it for the 10 or so times a year I use it. If we did not have a mini excavator and tractors the bobcat would get used more without a doubt.
