Message: <blockquote data-quote="skidsteer.ca" data-source="post: 5025" data-attributes="member: 307">I don't have enough seat time in it yet maybe 3 hours.  It is faster on the wheels, boom cycle time is about the same. Boom is tighter side to side, but it has 1000 less hours then when I got my 773. The ground was froze by the time I got it home so I don't know how it will be to bulldoze into a pile of dirt and fill the bucket. I don't have tracks on it yet either. I'll leave it on tires with rear chains until spring for snow removal (if it ever snows)  773 has 16.9 gpm versus 15 and 3000 psi versus 2600 Not sure how much it will be noticable in the real world. Nh 42 hp bobcat 46. Nh 42 inch whelbase, Bob  40I left the tracks on my 773 for brush mowing snowmobile trails, even though they are like working on skates. (definitely no side hills)Steering sticks are heavier on Nh. It would be easy to ram a stick through the rear grill into the rad on Nh Super visbility behind on Nh and better to the side, but has a longer rear overhang for me to get used to, but at least you can see it. They are two very different machines, but i think they are fairly comparable performance wise160's ROC is only 1500  (763 class) but it has 240 lbs of counter weight or rear ( and room for 120 more), but I don't know what the spec is with the weights. 773 is 1750 or 1850 with counter weight kit. Seatbelt is more of a pita then  bobcat seatbar, and so is the left hand throttle.I realy like the view, and it is the closest thing to new I have ever had in my fleet. 450 vary pampered hours, always sat inside, I'm almost scared to use it, it looks like new. So I think it will be a good little machine.Ken</blockquote>
