just going to add a little more food for thought for you
first off skid steers and track loaders, do NOT have much ground clearance for water crossings,, I have seen a few get ruined by going thru deeper water, when they some how managed to suck in water from vent lines!
SO< if planning to use for water crossings , I'd maybe suggest raising vent lines !
next hours DO mater on motors, and odds are this Bobcat listed with 200 hours is WAY off, , hour meters are not the most accurate item on a machine and over the yrs get damaged, replaced and stop working
HOW The hours were added also make a huge difference, as in HOW the machine was both used/abused and or cared for,
when looking at used machines, always take with a grain of salt that the story being told at time of sale is, at least 50% bullcrap, and sadly these days might even be higher, even coming from folks you wouldn;t think would LIE< but today, folks say lots of things to make a sale, and don't care about there reputation after the sale at all, and many sellers today all learned that a good cleaning , makes buyers THINK things are in better shape care than they really are,
a power washer and some de greaser will make a machine look clean, newer and hide many leaks, add some new paint to cover rust and or ?? and things start to look even better , when all they are MAYBE doing is hiding issues
paint and water are cheap ways to polish a turd!
I bought my last machine off a guy in his 70's known my a close friend as HONEST, a man you would NOT think would be lying!,
The just had a man had a stroke, was half parallelized and why selling, could no longer use it,
or so the story went, along with all sorts of dis honest info about machine, (stating new motor was installed under warranty by local dealer, he was second owner bought off next door neighbor, all turned out to be lies)
SO< as I said, , the sellers today, even one's you feel are honest, many times end up telling stories to make a sale!
IMO< if you DON"T know a lot about used machines, , I'd PAY someone to go look with you that does if , if you have no one you know that does, some times you can hire local repair guys to do so, for you, be worth the money if they find things you miss that cost $$ to fix!, so can be money well spent if you follow!
things to looks for IMO< are signs that the machine was greased often, how do grease fittings look, covered in OLD crusty grease, or do they look like they been greased often,
NEW grease, might mean they just did it to look like they always do!
loose pins and likes, , do cylinders have slop in them, bucket pins, arms,
how about hoses, are they newer looking, or old and dry rotting, cracks, in them?
this Bobcat your looking at is a 20+ yr old machine(not meaning bad, some of the old ones are highly desirable)
BUT old things, wear out on age alone, not just wear and tear
SO< things older, might need replacing just cause?
and older parts are getting harder to come by, many older parts now are becoming discontinued production items
lastly
again, WHO will be doing repairs,?? you, or paying someone
as, every model, is NOT the same to work on,
HOW easy or NOT is it to tilt the cab to get to hoses under it?
some need a second machine to do this too, and well some are rather simple to do, so knowing this about "X" models might be worth learning, before buying one!
and last, I think you might find this video worth watching, it shows some what the difference between a tractor and a skid steer, just keep in mind the set up on the mower on the tractor is NOT a great fit and poorly set up on this one, a better mower set up would not have some of the issues it had,
but does give you a good idea on using BOTH for trail work and such
and as I stated in first reply, it will also show you the difference in driving over rocks and up hills even slight one, how the skid steer fails where the tractor doesn;'t even flinch (at the 15 min mark, and then same rocky road at the 24 min mark, its worth seeing IMO, and then, back to where a excavator comes intro, making roads on hunting grounds))
here is link to video, Andrew makes some good videos, with honest use and abuse on things to give real world no BS examples, but he is also highly skilled and able to fix what he breaks too and has the shop and tools to do so, which not every one can do
