I've owned a couple 773 models so that is all I have to compare it to. I ran across this machine at a local garage/gas station. I'm seriously considering buying this used T250 that has some issues. It won't go forward or backwards and the owner has had his mechanics on it for two weeks...they are tired of chasing the problem down (not a Bobcat dealer). It starts and runs fine and the lift and tilt grapple bucket is working...just no drive. I chased down electrical problems in both of my 773's. First question is how do I get this thing on and off of a trailer...can I winch it, push it, pull it or is it dead where it stands until repaired? Secondly, how do you guys like or dislike the T250? Are they good machines? I see very little talk of them here...I guess because of the newer age? Is Bobcat out of business or going out of business? I read that rumor somewhere and it could be complete BS but I want to know before investing big cash on another skidsteer. I forgot to look, but is the T250 all hand controls? I prefer all hand controls vs hand/foot. Thanks for your input!</p></blockquote><p></p>
