[QUOTE="Eric, post: 8634, member: 108"] I have both an S300 and a 963. I wouldn't describe it as slow. It may be slower than an S300 but I wouldn't describe it as slow. I believe the two speed was a standard option on the 963. Even though they both have the same lift capacity, the 963 is still slightly stronger than the S300. I know this because I use my 1.2 cu. yard smooth edge bucket from my 963 and use it on the S300. The S300 cant handle that bucket heaped to capacity like the 963 can. Also the tires are smaller on the S300 so I do notice less traction and grip when trying to dig into hard soil. But so far I do enjoy running my new S300 with 2 speed. It really flies in high gear. I personally would take a 963 over a small wheel loader any day. I don't run skid steers mainly for ground speeds, mostly for maneuverability. It sounds like a 963 may work well for you. [/QUOTE]
