[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 6904, member: 307"] The s160 is ratted to lift 1600 lbs, and has a 56 hp turbo kubota (mainly because its availaable with AC and that requires extra power, although in demanding application the extra 10 hp may help productivity too.) the s175 is rated to lift 1750 lbs and has the same Kubota as the 160 but with no turbo and is 46 hp. the s185 is the same machine as the s175 but has the turbo and is rated to lift 1850 lbs. Both NH and Bobcat make a quality machine, if reach is a concern, then stick with the verticle lift boom design of the New Holland or s175/ s185 Bobcats. That will give you a @ foot more forward reach. I have a NH 160 (same as a 170 but no turbo) and a 773g (which is the same as a s175) 42 and 46 hp and both meet my needs just fine. although some will tell you that more hp is alway better and for certain tasks they are right, but seldom do I find myself wishing for more power.
