Trade in or not need help

[abe12]

I own S185 and only 200 hours on it. Due to good discount i am thinking about getting S330 BOBCAT. It seems S330 can take all atachment there is. My S185 only lifts 1850lbs S330 CAN LIFT UP TO 3300lbs. Thought about trading S185 but due to this economy trde in value is not even close to what i like to get for it. Any one used the S330? Is it too big and possibly a gas hog? Please help

What is the larger loader going to do for you that yours can't?
What attachments do you plan to run that you can't now?
Do you need to move a lot o fmaterial or do a lot of heavy lifting?

mostly heavy lifting, will use it to grind concrete or blactop milling around man holes, sweeper, stump grinding.

I'm also thinking about trading up from a 763 to a S220. What discounts are you finding?

You realize the 1850 lb is rated lift and it will lift almost twice that. 3700 lbs is the tipping lift, but of course this depends on level terrain etc.
So you are really looking for a large frame hi flow pump machine.

It does lift more but, like last year trying to get a skid of salt which was 40 bags each 50 lbs which is 2000 lbs was a strugle to lift it out of my pick up trk. i had to unload by hand about 8 bags for s185 to lift it.
