[QUOTE="siduramaxde, post: 4299, member: 248"] First, have you had any previous expierence with skid loaders? Gehl track machines are made by Takehuci and they are a great machine. I own a Bobcat T200 which would be slightly bigger than the T180 and I have a few hours in a TL150 (same as the gehl ct80). I have not used a JD track machine but I have used one of their wheeled machines. The JD machine I used was ok when it wasn't in the shop. I have never seen so many problems on one machine (leaks, new motor, boom sway) with less than 2000 hours. I bought my T200 used and bobcat had to put all new rollers and idlers on it b4 I bought it. Bobcat redesigned the seals in these parts and now they seem to hold up. My bobcat works great and the cab is the most comfortable of the 3. The gehl/takehuci machine I used had gobs of power (almost too much) but it gulped fuel really fast. The thing I like the most about the gehl/takehuci machine was their pilot controls. They just use 2 joysticks to control all loader functions which is effortless when compared to the JD and bobcat hand/foot controls. The cab is also huge but is pretty basic design. Basically, you'll have to demo all of them and see what you like. Dealer support is also a concern(which is why I own a bobcat). If you live close to a large bobcat dealer I would seriously consider them. I like the fact that when I go to the bobcat dealer all they deal with is bobcat machines and they seem to know them forward and backwards. My bobcat dealer also rents every attachment bobcat makes so that is nice. Pretty much all attachments are interchangable. However, it seems bobcat is the king of attachments. They make almost anything you can think of for a skid loader. [/QUOTE]
