Operate each one for a fair comparison. Both will get the job done. The CAT will hold higher resale value and if you work for CAT or a CAT dealer, you should be able to buy an extended warranty at a deep discount. You should be able to purchase your parts at a discount too. Just a thought. Best...
Your fuel tank has a drain plug (pipe plug) at the bottom rear center of the tank. I would drain it as completely as possible then start with fresh fuel.
I finally found a real nice 2013 262C2 771 hours. Heat, A/C, air ride cloth seat. Spent about 3 days detailing it and installed CAMSO tracks. It's a joy to run compared to my old skid steers. Comfortable, quiet, smooth and powerful.
