[QUOTE="Team Fountain, post: 122, member: 37"] I hear what you're saying about low supply. My dealer sells 8 T300 a year, which means there isn't a lot to pick from. When I first looked at them, he had 2 in stock. They both sold the same day, one to me and one to a pool installer. I got the 80" construction bucket. The track machine could never keep up with the case on a flat simple run in a shuttle competition, but I seldom do anything simple. Lucky I guess. Anyway, No matter what the slope or conditions, the 300 goes a full 7mph. The case would have to slow way down on the slopes and would do a lot more damage to the travel path, which means more time cleaning up and patching ground. Our soil around here is a nasty red clay, so the more you disturb it the nastier it gets. Tastes just like chicken. I don't know much about the T200, but I can tell you first hand that the T190 is an underpowered turd. As of March, they added some hp to the 190 (I believe its now 61 hp). I didn't try the new configuration, but 56 hp was way easy to stall. I do know that the 300 has considerably faster hydraulics than the 864 (which is supposed to be the same as the 200). Faster hydraulics means faster loading and dumping. Fuel, ouch. The 300 does seem to be thirsty. I haven't figured hourly yet, but it does use considerably more fuel than the 185 did.
