The wheelbase on the S220 is over eight inches longer than that on the S205. If you have the money AND the space (as in, you don't need a compact loader as much as you do a brute), I would go for the S220. It's a larger machine and will be able to get more done. Now... if you don't need all that much power or size in a machine, go for the S205. I doubt you'll be displeased. Joystick controls -- haven't tried them, but I'd expect they'd be nice. In my opinion, after operating a Cat and a Case, the Case is more FUN to drive (you really feel the power in that machine), but the Cat is far easier to drive. For you, looking at Bobcats, this means the joystick will be easy to operate and learn; the standard hand controls or foot controls may be more fun and give you more feedback on the machine itself.</p></blockquote><p></p>
