[QUOTE="m610, post: 2652, member: 372"] I would agree with you as I have the M700 and M720 manuals and after a look through like the similarities to the M610. Almost looks like an older machine with the hydrostatics put in place of the variable belt drive! Trouble is, where can you find such old Bobcats? On the other hand I really like the way the 743 Bobcats look and I used to see them all of the time in action when I was a traffic signal tech but never got to try it out. Before I worked there they had given away two M700 Bobcats due to a hydraulic pump spewing metal throughout the system but it would have been a fun project to take the machines apart and clean everything, and at the same time paint and restore the machine. I am not limited to Bobcat either, I have looked at Case, and Thomas which appear to be good as well. Just have a long time relationship with my M610 and will keep it even if I get a new companion for it. Basically looking to give the old Bobcat a break while I have another machine for the side work, last year's hurricane season put 200+ hours on the old machine and I don't even charge for the cleanups for friends and neighbors. They supply the gas and small expenses and I help them move the debris to the street. Very rarely I do a paid job like removing trees or clearing for a driveway or patio. All in all it's a way to keep the machine running and it's interesting to see what a current Bobcat owner or user thinks abou the old machine [/QUOTE]
