[QUOTE="start2finish, post: 6187, member: 832"] I am not sure why bobcat insists on comparing the t250 to the tl150. they are not really the same. I compared the t-300 and the tl150. yes the tl150 is a radius lift machine like the 250 and the ROC is lower than the t300, but the lift height and reach at height on the tl150 is close to the t300. 2 inches lower I believe and the reach is a couple of inches farther out. as for pushing power the tl150 will outpush the t300. we scheduled a demo with both machines before purchasing the takeuchi, and it pushed the t300 backwards. literally, we removed the buckets from the machines and on flat ground the tl150 had its way with the bobcat. as for the other reasons for purchasing the tl150, I liked the bigger cab and the overall simplicity of the takeuchi. if you are running alot of complicated attachments the bobcat has an edge due to the attachment control system. bobcat has a nicer cab, it is quieter and better sealed. We liked the door on the tak better because you could open it anytime and even run the machine while it is open. the last factor was price, the tl150 was a little cheaper and our last machine was a bobcat and the dealer was troublesome at times, but what dealer is perfect right? the undercarriage parts were cheaper on the tl150 as well. we have owned the tl150 for several months now and are pleased with it. we actually love it.
