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.   ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

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. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

We bought a BobCat T190 with tracks about 2 months ago. WOW... big difference to a loader tractor ! ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

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. ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.
