[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 4605, member: 307"] For those of you that know me I'm a bit of a bobcat man, not so much by choice but more because of the one brand that has presence in my area. Well the other day I stepped out a bought a used 2000 ls 160 with 440 hours, (garage kept and babied, it looks like its 6 months old) Compared to my 773 (also a 2000) there are definitely some differences. It faster on the wheels, visability is awesome compared to the blind behind bobcat, Regardless of where I lift the boom to I can see under it to the rear tires, or over it, and once its up 30“ or more you can see all around you. The boom is 100% tight, no side to side slop but the 773 had 1500 hours on it when I got it. I also like that the hour meter can be converted to one digital guage for either volts, water temp, oil temp. Its feels more stable (2” longer wheel base). Its a little quieter. The boom can be mechanically locked in the up position (and unlocked) from inside the cab with the flip of a lever (Mustang, deere, and ? have this feature) this is a nice feeling when I need to get out under it and chain, or un chain something I need to load. (other manufacturers listening here) On the down side, the operators compartment has very little extra room. (looking for a spot for heater) To change the oil you have to remove a cover underneath (not just pull out a hose) Access to the loader heart is a little tight unless you roll the rops and loader arms forward (then it wide open, but requires a special jack and 30 to 45 mins of unbolting things from what I see in the manual) Routine service can be done with just lifting the seat, removing engine shrouding and stump pan under engine, maybe 5 mins (10 if you don't have a air wrench fro stump pan). I have very limited seat time yet but am praying for snow. Ken [/QUOTE]
