[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 59575, member: 782"] I agree with you on convert a machine to high flow as being a waste of time and money , but strongly disagree with new A770 Bobcat as being a good choice , sure it would be good for you working at a dealership as you would have a lot of work lined up in the future , but for an owner it would be a nightmare , I been a heavy equippment mechanic for 37 years now , was the service manager of a equipment rental house for 12 years that deal with nothing but Bobcat , and watched Bobcat progress , seems to me that they are not owner friendly or reliable as they use to be , ------ too many wires , too many controllers , too much software , too much unneeded stuff to go out , too many unnessecary trips to the dealer for software updates and controller problems , Doosan/ Bobcat's fly by wire is not the way to go , if you must have a new Bobcat then get an extra one for your fleet to have a swop out for the one going into the shop ----- the Kubota is really taking hold in this area , much stronger , better visibility , cheaper cost to buy and a whole lot easier to work on , as far as I am concerned Takeuchi ( which is also the Mustang/Geil) makes the best , bullet proof , low shop time tracked loader out there right now , but it doesn't come high flow , and joy stick controlls turn a lot of people away from it as far as operation goes , but the low over high pressure joystick controll is much more reliable and easy to mantain than wired controlled ----------- new Bobcats are over priced and will leave you sitting on a job without a machine and cost you a lot more dollars per hour of use in the end ---------- just my opinion [/QUOTE]
