Hi, I'm Bobcatdan. I just found out about this site from the garage journal where I fart around a fair amount. Personally I do not own a skidsteer, but am a certified bobcat tech, at least that is what the patches on my shoulder say. I hope I can be a help on this site, a lot of my day is spent talking customers threw problems. I also worked for a Deere dealership for years so what I can remember about Deere I will also post there too. I am not one to talk up bobcat, but if I see an advancage to them I will say my peace. Well I got a lot of reading to do so hopefully we can all help each other. Cheers!
