I am quite fond of my 08' T-300. Before that I started with a 2000 864G, which was 73hp and could handle most of my needs with a decent lift capacity. T-190's are fairly popular in our area ( central MN ) and according to the Bobcat Worksaver magazine, are a good fit for landscapers. However, as you will find in many threads on here, track loaders can be quite a bit more expensive to own and operate i.e. tracks, idlers, drivemotors. I never had a problem with my 864 and I bought it used with 1,100 hours on it and traded it off with 2,500 hours and only burned 30% of the track off in that time. I did go through a front idler and a rear idler at around $400 a pop, but overall I don't think I did too bad. I would say for your application a T-180 or T-190 would fit the bill, and for added flotation, can be equipped with a 15.8" track. Plus, ya gotta love the Kubota engines they got!
