[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 56451, member: 3290"] You got to admit, a 6-cylinder skid steer would be pretty cool!! But if you do go the v-twin route, you will likely need to hang a counter weight on the back of your machine to get your lifting capacity back. I added 100 lbs to mine after the engine swap to make up for the lighter motor. It worked out so well, I added another 100 lbs for good measure!! (the extra 100 lbs is quick-removable for lighter attachments / better digging performance) Cheers, SR [/QUOTE]
