763 or S185

[dougk]

I have an opportunity to purchase a 763 with 800 hours and all the attachments (grapple, cutter, auger, bucket with teeth or an s185 with 2000 hours with only the bucket. Both are the same price. The skis steer will be used for ranch work and some cedar clearing. I am really torn. What are your thoughts? thanks Doug

Me personally: if the 763 is in good shape, I'd go with that. The S185 maybe a little bigger, but it has many more hours and doesnt have all the attachments. Unless you need to lift heavier objects, go with the 763. My opinion.

I agree, the attachments out weigh the extra power unless really needed. The lower hours are also a big benefit.
