I'm looking at getting a tiny skidsteer such as the Case 1816, just to be my big strong buddy at a new house I'm buying with a shop to be renovated and a lot of work to do. Carrying stuff, loading/unloading trucks, light landscaping - mostly pushing stuff around, that sort of thing. I want something tiny that can go inside a building and get into tight places, and this seems to be just the ticket. I see there are attachments out there for skidsteers, such as, say, an auger. I think I understand the bob-tach system which it seems the industry standardized to a while back and that the 1816 didn't come with any such thing but a mount like that can be purchased for it. Is it possible for this little Case to run small attachments like a post-hole auger? A concrete breaker? trencher? If so how do the hydraulics attach? I would like to be able to rent them somewhere per day, and I just need a bucket and forks and maybe a snowplow long-term. I did find a pdf of a nice brochure for the bobcat 463 which seems to be a similar size machine with 700lb ROC. The brochure showed all kinds of attachments in use, and that machine is 22hp, 10gpm hydraulics vs 16hp and 8gpm hydraulics for the 1816. Well, that was a mouthful! Great forum and I hope you guys can give me some info. thanks! -Hans</p></blockquote><p></p>
