Hi All, I am starting up a landscape installation company, and I wondering if I can get some suggestions for brands and models of skid steers for landscaping tasks. Tasks would include unloading and setting b&b trees and boulders, placing dirt, grading, loading trucks for haul-away, etc. I want the machine to be on the smaller side for maneuverability and easy of transport. I should mention that I am looking at used machines in the $16k and below range. So far I have been looking into: Bobcat S150, S160, S175 Cat 226 Deere 320 Case 40xt I really prefer hand controls only, and so I have been honing in on the Case 40xt, because these are fully controlled by joysticks. I believe the Cats are hand controlled too. But I realize when looking at used, I might not be able to have it all, and in the end reliability/durability probably trumps everything else. In other words I can get used to foot controls probably, if it means overall the machine is superior to most others. What I am looking/hoping for is some advice from folks about which machines in this list are better than others in terms of reliability/durability/cost of ownership. Right now, I am looking at low-hour 04 or 05 Case 40xt machines below $14k. Any thoughts on these or the others I have mentioned? Thanks!
