[QUOTE="OldMachinist, post: 17382, member: 437"] As a owner of a Bobcat 453 I agree with bobcat_ron that they are pretty much indestructible. It is easy to service and maintain. The Bob-Tach on the 453 is different that the standard one in use today so attachments are a little harder to come by. The auxiliary hydraulic flow is also low by todays standards(6.8 gpm). The 463 uses the standard quick attach and the flow is 10gpm. Both are 36” wide with the standard 5.70-12 tires and 44” with the optional 23 x 8.5-12 tires. You mentioned wanting to go out on the beach is it a sandy beach? If so you're going to want the wider tires or tracks so you don't spend most of your time digging the machine out. I've seen good used 453's and 463's with less than 2000 hrs. in the 6-7k USD range. Since I retired I use mine every couple of days and it never lets me down. Hope this helps in your choice. [/QUOTE]
