Bobcat 730

I just picked up a Bobcat 730. I've never owned a skid steer and plan to use it to clean out my barn and put in a gravel driveway. I'm also considering buying some used attachments, like a grapple, a tooth bar for the bucket it currently has, a post driver, and a back hoe attachment. Any thoughts? Thank you for your consideration.

I do not know if you have the hydraulic power necessary to run a post driver? ,may be steel t posts not treated wood posts ? I would think.

Your machine's aux hudraulic flow will be 11 gpm around 2000 or so psi which should run a grapple and backhoe no problem, not sure what the post driver will need... a post pounder doesn't need much flow if I'm not mistaking if that's what you're looking to use. Bobcat made the 908B backhoe for the 730 series, the 907 and 909 will also work with no issues. You can even use the more modern 607 and 709 with the proper brackets as they are the same brackets used on the 740 series if I'm not mistaken. I run a sweeper, 4 in 1 bucket and a wood splitter with my 732 which is the same machine as yours other than it has a Ford engine versus your 730 has a Wisconsin.
