is s250 bobcat and 250 thomas the same machine?

[rayray]

i spoke with a dealer today who has a used 250 thomas for sale. when i ask about repair parts he said no problem that it is the same unit as the bobcat s250 and all those parts will work. several companies make the same machine and put another brand name on it, does anyone know if this is the situation with the bc and thomas? thanks

I think your dealer has his wires crossed a bit there. I believe the 250 is the only thing they will have in common.
For starters, the S250 is vertical lift, is the thomas is not. Do a search on thomas 250 and then one on bobcat S250, they are totally different.

The tires might interchange, but that's about it...
