Thanks for the replys. I do need joystick controls because of a bum leg, so I much appreciate knowing the real deal on the Bobcat joysticks. I will stay away from them. Sound like Takeuchi/Gehl is a good machine, so I will look at those. How about the ASV PT70? All comments are appreciated!
Purchasing new. I am having trouble deciding between the T180 with joystick (SJC) controls and the 247B. I would appreciate any thoughts, either way, regarding controls, undercarriage, power, ride, comfort, etc. Many thanks.
