I have several machines 3 185, some bs and a new 185, But have to say the machine i run is a 262 c cat. Joysticks on the cat. Going from the hand and foot on the new hollands to sticks on the cat had a learning curve to say the least. But as far as operator comfort and eaise of operating< sticks is the way to go. Bobcats never realy impressed me much but all i ever did was demo them. The newhollands good machine, stout handles weight well.The cat will lift far more but has a nasty habit of wanting to stand on her front wheels alot.Even with counter weights. And as far as lasting aroung 5000 hours till i see much repairs. The cat has just lost it injector pump but it does have 6250 on it. The newhollands get wheelbearings at 5000,and so does the cat cause they just plain beat out of them.And keep in mind if your buying used you have the upper hand now. So many repo machines out there with 500 to 900 hours for mid to high teens that 2 years ago where 40,000 and up. My last word would be look at a bobcat but buy something else.</p></blockquote><p></p>
