[QUOTE="Tigerotor77W, post: 3059, member: 44"] Eric, the market for a machine that large is somewhat limited. To be sure, the Gehl/Mustang has sold well, but it's likely not Gehl's highest-profit model. When the 963 was in production, its last few years were extremely sloooow... Bobcat may be studying a “S350” (I would guess S330, however), but whether it becomes available is based on market demand. The Deere and Gehl 332 and 7810E offer higher lifting capacities, but whether contractors really want a 10,000 pound SSL all over again -- specifically, whether enough contractors want that machine -- is the big question Bobcat engineers would be asking. Simply putting it, it's a better idea to let one manufacturer have a market of having 100 machines/year and barely scrape a profit than to have two split it at 50/50 and both operating at a loss... not to mention the R&D that goes into it. But it'll be interesting for sure, unless they simply throw another 1000 pounds counterweight on the S300 and call it a S330... [/QUOTE]
