[QUOTE="Bobcatdan, post: 92584, member: 7339"] If I had the money and use, I'd own a toolcat. I'd buy new and get the added warranty. They don't come up used much and bring good money if in good shape. Also many used ones saw a lot of salt in the winter and get pretty rusty. They wear like a pickup truck more then an industrial equipment. Awesome tool carriers like brooms, snowblowers or mowers. Not real dig in the dirt machines, but for light use, OK with a bucket. Toolcats get up to about 18 mph top end which is fast enough. A good comparison between a tool cat and a skidsteer. One year I had a toolcat to use to plow the lot. With a 2 speed skidsteer, 1 1/2 hour average. With a toolcat, 45 minutes. The newer ones are four wheel independent suspension. Give or take at a 1000 hours, it will need some ball joints or tierod ends. I wouldn't want an older soild axle unit, bigger pain in the butt to work on units. Newer ones are better, but have their challenges. At the end of the day, a toolcat will either fit your needs great or not be that useful at all. Remember these are not gators. About the size of a classic regular cab S10. 66 hp diesel. 4 wheel drive, steering, independent suspension. 27 gpm high flow. 1500 lbs lift capacity, about 7' lift height. Heat and A/C cab, radio optional. [/QUOTE]
