What I have heard about the new M-series skids

[Iowa Dave]

For 2009, only one size coming out. It is between the current 205 and 220. Radius lift. One tracked, one wheeled. Full line will be introduced over time, but only this one this year. 2 salesmen from 2 different dealerships both told me this. What is anyone else hearing??

I have seen them in a dealer release from bobcat and they are a huge leap from the current loaders, if you want to see it let me know and I will send you a copy.

I have heard (and seen) the same, but Bobcat has already got their customer's panties in a bunch over their decision to put the side windows on the OUTSIDE of the cab, where as the current models (and Case, Cat, New Holland, JCB and Thomas) all have the windows in the INSIDE of the cab where they are better protected from branches and kids with baseball bats.
Deere does the same and that's always a big gripe with people.
Imagine getting into that cab on a cold day with wet or damp clothing, the windows fog up PDQ, how in God's name are you supposed to wipe them down? The damn ROPS cage makes it kinda tricky!
