Hello, I used to have a Bobcat T300 and loved it. Sold it a while back. Now it's time to get another one. Looking at the T590 or the T550. Can't figure out the difference between them. They seem to be very similar machines. Anything I should look out for? Any years to avoid. Looking for one under 1,500 hours and less than 5 years

I could be wrong, but I think the T590 is a vertical lift machine and the T550 is radial

Try and stay away from the first year or two the Doosan engine was used. They had fuel delivery issues that were eventually worked out later on. I can't remember off hand which year they replaced Kubota but it shouldn't be to hard to find.

If you're used to the power of the T300, you may give the T595 a look as well.

I have a T300 I'm going to be trading/selling soon and the T595 looks like a nice fit for a replacement. Vertical lift is a necessity for me.
