[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 42457, member: 307"] Yes, I don't believe we ever discussed grubbers around here, I meant to search on skidsteers, there is quite a bit written here on which Bobcat models have the most electric gizmos to fail and what to avoid as far as Bobcat machines. Less so on other brands. I'm not sure they are more failure prone or have more wires and sensors then other machines that have build in engine/hydraulic protection (aka BOSS in Bobcats case) but they are the most discussed brand around here. Of course people tend to come here when they have trouble not when all is well. I think because Bobcat has a lot of machines on themarket that are 10 plus years old is why we see the most talk, usually trying to solve problems, about Bobcats. In the last 10 years the other brands have become very competive for the skidsteer market, which was not the case 10 years back or so. Also for working on hilly ground you may want to consider some of the other brands, as Bobcat always made a pretty light machine for a given lifting class (very little weight on the front when not lifting something), where Deere NH, I think Cat machine weighed several hundred or a 1000 lbs more. They could be driven forward up a hill without something in the bucket to hold the front down. This is the very reason I suggest staying away from the short wheelbase Bobcat like the 853, 753, S130, older 742, 743 etc models. Ken [/QUOTE]
