 Topic: Not Allis but I really like it
Posted: 10 Aug 2014 at 8:10pm |
I bought it a year ago April and it's the best purchase I've made in the past year and a half. Never owned one before.

Yeah, once you have a skid steer you wonder how you ever survived without one.

You could call it that. I gingerly enter and exit.

Just don't hit a protruding chunk of concrete, at full speed, or you will understand a lot better than you will like, LOL!

Well that might be incentive to keep wearing the seatbelt. Bucket hydraulics won't work without seatbelt though it's easy to override by throwing a chain over the left seatbelt lever. It's an old unit but runs great and I have a grapple manure fork for it. The bucket was rusted out real bad so I cut out and welded in a new, slightly heavier bottom and back plate. I need several tines for the manure fork.

They are a great replacement for a tractor loader when short distance work is required but like all things they have their limits. Newer machines have improved - I still like my old 785 NH better than the later machines - just seemed the Perkins engine power was smooth.
