[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 88678, member: 82"] From what i have heard, i'd avoid the Deere, just simple things like a dead battery is hard to access with the boom down. I agree dealer support is good, but not always needed. If the machine is good, you shouldn't need to deal with them often. As you wanted it for demo work and snow removal, the LS170 sounds pretty good. The Bobcat 863F is a larger machine, i don't believe you'd need something that large, but that's just me. The Bobcat S160 is a sweet machine, but for those dollars, it may be hand controls. I personally would avoid them if possible, when things go wrong they cost a lot. For a contractor they are good as they are easier for long days and hopefully they have the machine under warranty so the dealer irons out those bugs. I'm sure others will have ideas too. Which ever way you go, enjoy your machine, they save so many hours of hard work. [/QUOTE]
