Hello From North Carolina

[DRaider90]

Got started with Bobcat Skidsteers from an early age, I remember my first loader to drive was a Bobcat 743. My family owned a construction company so I spent many years around and operating skidsteer loaders, terramites, backhoes, etc. My father was a New Holland and John Deere fan, but I am a die hard Bobcat nut. But seeing it wasn't my opinion that counted exactly in what kind of equipment we rented I operated Bobcat, John Deere, New Holland, Scat Track, Case, and even Toyota loaders. Bobcat rentals were rare, but I did get to operate the 743 of course, a 753, 7753, and 773. Fast forward to last year, I got involved organizing the Volutneer Workdays at a local National Forest (Uwharrie). I ride the OHV trails (Jeep/4x4, ATV, and dirtbike) so volunteering of course involves the need for some kind of equipment. We rented a Bobcat T190, then a Bobcat S300, and another Bobcat T190. And we have more rentals in the future, in June we will be renting a T190 and a T300. I don't have the luxury of operating equipment on a weekly/daily basis like I did with the family company, but I will settle for on a monthly basis. Good to be back into the Bobcat/Skidsteer scene. Like I said earlier I am a Bobcat nut. I dug around in the old boxes upstairs and found an old WorkSaver Magazine (over 10 years old), Bobcat Video, Bobcat License Plate, plus a 743B,7753, and 610 diecast model collection from many moons ago. I am really interested in the classic machines, so I will be doing more reading than posting taking in as much as I can. But I think that is more than plenty for now!
