Go somewhere and drive an ASV RC50 or RC80. If you do and compare that iy ANY Bobcat you wouldn't take the time to pee on a Bobcat. The ASV rides SO much better, they have easy-on-the-wrist electronic controls and have MUCH better traction than any other make - except of course the catg track...

If you want a track loader DON'T buy a Bobcat. Buy an ASV RC50, or the lighter ASV RC30. If you do a YouTube search for "bobcat versus ASV" you'll see three killer videos that rally tell the tale. The ASV runs over all of the competition HANDS DOWN. It has much better traction, better power and...

Posted Sept. 29, 2011............ I have a Bobcat 553 for sale. This machine came from Nashville, Tn. and was in good mechanical condition, but like most skid loaders it had surface rust on the cage. So, I had a friend of mine who does custom paint and autobody work, strip the white part of the...

HELP!!!! I have an older Case 1845 and when I use the right/left controls there is a bad cavitation noise. This only happens during motivation and NOT when using the boom. We changed the filter with no resolution. Coleman Case in Pa. tells me that these machines should use 30 weight oil in the...

I recently bought a Case 1845 and would like to either sell, or trade the solid rubber tires & wheels that came on it. These wheels and tires are like new, with NO rust on the wheels. They are a replacement for the 12.00/16.5 tires on larger-sized skid loaders.........like the New Holland LS180...

Iowa Dave apparently hasn't heard that when you drive a skid loader down a long section of concrete that it WILL grind the edge to a fine point! Don't worry about sharpening the edge - remember that when is got all worn out that you wished that wouldn't have happened? Wear out the new one a...

NO!!! 7,000 pounds means GROSS weight capacity. Figure the trailer weighs about 1800? If you toss another 7,000 on the deck not only are you taking the heck out of the trailer you're breaking the hell out of the law if you ever get sopped by the cops! Get a 10k or 12k trailer and not only will...

Why would this be a glow plug issue? If the machine is being started in hot weather and NOT using the glow plug feature the engine should start WITHOUT them. My S150 starts with a tweak of the key, WITHOUT hitting the glow plugs and so did my New Holland LS170. But maybe you know more about this...

I've had several skid loader and now have an S150 and a 743, that I just bought. All the newer stuff I've been in starts (in summer months) at the tweak of the key, but this 743 wants to be glow-plugged almost every time I start it. I'm not sensing that there's any fuel drain back problem...
