Newbie in so many ways from VA

[SkidGeek]

Hi All, I just bought a bobcat 440b and will be picking it up this week. I wanted something to help with yard work and found this one with a fairly recent engine and in what looks to be good shape. I don't have a clue what attachments will work with it or anything, so have been surfing to see what I have actually gotten myself into. So be prepared for a bunch of newbie questions.

Welcome to the site, questions are always welcome.

Welcome and congrats on your buy!! IMHO, the 440B is an under appreciated machine. They are super simple, and parts are still readily available from Bobcat for them. We have had ours since new, and have no plans of replacing it. They also share a lot of common parts with the newer machines, up to the S70.
Does yours have auxiliary hydraulics? If not, they can be added. I put them on mine about 2 years ago. It seriously opens up a whole new world of attachment possibilities.
You have come to the right place if you have questions.
Cheers!!
