[QUOTE="ReRide, post: 69888, member: 9532"] I hope others respond. My wife and I just bought a 2011 S650 Bobcat for cedar tree clearing. I plan to buy a non rotating shear, about 800 pounds. We were originally going to buy an S185 or similar machine. We ran across the S650 which was in pristine condition with low hours, and went for that one. We don't really need the extra capacity machine, but I compare it to carrying two five gallon buckets of water. I can do that, but how far do I want to carry them? The extra width will help with stability on hillsides, and the extra capacity will allow us to pull smaller trees out by the roots, if we end up buying an attachment to do that. But an 1800 pound rated machine should easily handle the 1300 pound shear, and you do have the extra 500 pounds for the trees, and that should work fine. I'll let you know in the spring how ours works, we won't be shearing our trees till spring. [/QUOTE]
