Pics of new Deere 312GR skid steer loader

We had a Deere 323D and they broke the top hinge pin. We just disconnected the wiring and the door closer. The machine ran fine without the door. I think when it's disconnected the system no longer looks to have the door latched.

Walk away. Salt is a killer. Check the engine oil, check the grease zerks, if they aren't greased reguraly, they will not accept grease. Sounds like they give it heck and fix as little as possible. We just sold a 2008 Bobcat S175 with 2100 hours (open cab) for $14k and a 2007 Bobcat S160 (open...

Not a lot of demand for SJC. Just see the market heading this way. Most customers are one and done. Would need to learn the operation when they rent anyways. Most have been ok with H/F for the past five years. Recently I have had more requests for ISO. AHC would not get the ISO pattern that more...

After attending the Rental Show in Atlanta earlier this week I am planning on buying a Bobcat S550. Talking with the factory reps, I believe they have engine issues figured out. The Doosan has been out for a few years now and they had a few bugs but they are fine. They have a three year, 3000...

Thanks SkidRoe. Could not figure out how to fix links or edit my posts. Finally found one of the Deere skid steers on a dealer's lot. It was the 318G. Vertical lift Bobcat S185 copy. Hand and foot controls. The Yamar diesel started and ran great, no DEF but does have DPF with regen. Easy to see...

Just found these videos on the new John Deere skid steers. I saw them earlier this week in person at the rental show in Atlanta. I was pleased with the bobcat copy. Foot well clean outs. Hope to demo one soon. http://youtu.be/n7gOzXCU3ck http://youtu.be/bI0LpbiO6_g

I bought Sierra Antifreeze from the local NAPA. They got it from the warehouse overnight. $15 or less. It was green but it's Propylene Glycol. Bobcat brand was purple. But should be okay.

You get what you pay for. I have had bad luck with Soilideal. Had Xtra wall and skid dawgs. Didn't last long (300hrs)Carlisle Guard Dog HD are close to Bobcat Heavy Duty. Deestone are pretty tough. Titans are good as well. Foam filled cost me $1300 with Deestone on my wheels. Shredded by a...

I bought two 2014 John Deere 27d machines July 2015. I replaced two Bobcat 425 minis. The 27d is a great machine. I owned a 27zts years ago. We have a 26G on demo now. It is a dog. They dropped the hp from 26 in the 27d to 20 hp in this 26G. My customers are disappointed. They are only digging...
