Message: <blockquote data-quote="reaperman" data-source="post: 67310" data-attributes="member: 6675"><p>Brush cutters do take up some room. You may be streaching it to get the cutter, machine, plus a bucket on a 16' trailer. The only way it would work is to take the bucket and put it on the front of the trailer backwards. Then hook up the cutter to the machine and back the skidsteer onto the trailer. The rear wheels of the skidsteer could sit inside of the backwards bucket. As far as which machine to buy? Personally I dont like caterpillar skidsteers, and hate cat hand controls. You may like hand controls, thats your decision. I also am not a fan of the limiters, cat uses on their machines. Any time you try and pick up something a bit too heavy, the hydraulics go into bypass and wont even try to lift. Whereas, a bobcat will at least bog the engine down a bit and grunt its way through. This can be frustrating when your pushing dirt. As your pushing, alot of times you need to lift the bucket a bit to lighten the load to keep moving forward. This is where the cat will simply stop and do nothing. Because its pushing more than it can, and you try and compensate by lifting. Now the machine wont lift either because its going into bypass. So your stuck dumping some dirt out and starting over. As far as replacement parts go, nobody likes spending $$$, but it happens. Caterpillar parts are known to be on the spendy side. I'd say try both machines, and hopefully which ever machine you decide on treats you well.</p></blockquote><p></p>
