Finally found one of the Deere skid steers on a dealer's lot. It was the 318G. Vertical lift Bobcat S185 copy. Hand and foot controls. The Yamar diesel started and ran great, no DEF but does have DPF with regen. Easy to see out the rear window. Side visibility is similar to the Bobcat. Low entry and exit. Great visibility of bucket edge. Downfalls. The machine was very bouncy. Of course, I was driving on blacktop. The hydraulics shuddered when I was lowering the arms and driving around. This is the same problem that Kubota told me that they had to correct before they released their wheel skid steer. The main reason that I was looking at these machines was to add to the rental fleet. John Deere gave me very aggressive pricing at the American Rental Assoc. Show in Atlanta earlier this week. The dealer didn't act like he was willing to honor the pricing. Most likely I will be buying another Bobcat skid steer. Now I just have to figure out if I should pay extra for SJC (joystick controls).</p></blockquote><p></p>
