[QUOTE="jhmeg2, post: 122861, member: 21620"] As recommend, I'm going to start a new thread. I am at the point that my toes hurt too much to continue plowing my driveway for the next 20 years with my 642b bobcat. I need something with an enclosed cab and heat. I've been wanting a bigger machine with more power for some time, and the price of new tires and some maintenance and frostbite I'm looking at just biting the bullet and picking up a newer machine. Here's what I'm thinking. I'd like a tracked unit like a T190, but the cost of the additional maintenance on the undercarriage is a concern, and I do a lot of pivots, so, might stay with tires, but could avoid it if I had to. Looking at some cat units. Can anyone give me input on these... 2016 Caterpillar 232D 2011 Caterpillar 226B Is there anything I should stay away from or look out for? Should I maybe be ok with the T190? I can park it in the shop in the winter, but should I put a block heater on it? [/QUOTE]
