I bought a MT55

I'm not really sure where to put this in the forum so if the Mods need to move it, be my guest. I bought an MT55 about 1 year ago brand new and I can honestly say that it has been the some of the best money I have ever spent! I find myself hardly using my larger T200 anymore. In the past year I put 3 times as many hours on the MT55 as I did the T200. It amazing what the little thing will do! It's a wheelbarrow and shovel all in one. I can do landscape jobs almost twice as fast with it and the thing hardly leaves a mark on the lawn. I just wanted to let people know how much of a back saver the MT55's are. Don't let their little size fool you!

Had a MT 52 at a landscape company I use to wrench at.... The guys loved that thing. A little narrower than the 55 and just a small horsepower loss. Don't think you can get the 55 through a standard gate, can you? Mechanically the machine was straight forward. Did a set of tracks while I was with the company, no big deal. Track tension was easily maintained with the tensioner system. The idler wheels were all grease-able and were forgotten buy the guys a lot, this meant a lot of frozen fittings by the time I got to see it. I think that bobcat has switched them to sealed units.... Thank God! Keep an eye on who you have operating it, especially if they are using the sulky... We had a guy swing around and fall off the sulky and bust up his leg pretty good. Oh yea.... make sure you keep the radiator clean.... there are two ports on the nose of the machine and dirt and S@IT get caught in there and will plug up the radiator pretty good. A hose after the job will go a long way.. Ours got so bad I ended up replacing the radiator.
