Hi All,
This week I finally received my brand new bobcat s70 to assist with my rental property management. I have never owned a skid steer. I have rented a bobcat MT100 a couple times with the stump grinding attachment and the concrete breaker attachment.
After driving the new S70 with an empty bucket attached - I found the S70 super buckie when trying to turn. I got the wider tires from factory and I was keeping the bucket low to the ground. Are there any newbie operator tips people have? or it just experience based and will get better with seat time? I look a bit silly getting bronco'ed by my own bobcat
I also purchased the bobcat SB150 snowblower for this winter's snow removal - I'm surprised there are no side skid shoes (only the back ones) - have people added their own? or some aftermarket ones?
Do people generally keep the snowblower in float when blowing snow off asphalt driveways?
best regards,
TheCatLady
