New Member and Bobcat 463

[panther49]

Hi to all! I'm a new member from Florida and I am about to buy a 2005 Bobcat 463. I wonder if there are any other members of this forum who own this same model. The equipment is in another city and I have never seen one. I'm concerned because it appears to me very little and narrow and I concerned about its stability. I have a small farm and the proposed use is of no concern regarding its capacities etc. Just the narrowness. Also it appears that attachments for this thing are rarer than chicken teeth! Thanks to all! JC

It is a small machine, but it is pretty tough. They are narrow, but what attachments do you hope to add to it?
Stability shouldn't be a big deal, just be careful where you take it and turn.
I believe OldMachinist has one, that or a 453. Its not the same year, but size wise, it will be pretty much the same.
It doesn't lift as much as the larger units, but it's mostly for tight access areas. Worst case, you can always upgrade to a larger one later if you feel it's not doing as much as you want. But don't under estimate it's abailities.
