Where do you find low hour Used Bobcats?

[dougk]

I am looking for a used Bobcat but found Craigslist is limited. Where should I look for low hour reasonably priced Bobcats?

Do you have an on-line heavy equipment trader or auto trader? What became of the low hour 763 with all the attachments you were considering?

The 763 is owned by 2 of my neighbors. One is having sellers remorse. So I am looking for a backup.

I found a S185 for $8k. Well actually my wife did. I had been looking for weeks, having some great advice from Fishfiles I was looking at the S220 and had started to justify spending $16k for a 2004 with 500 hours. Then just before the Superbowl my wife informed me she saw an S185 on craigslist for $8k. It had just been listed. That evening I talked to the owner and setup a time on Monday to look at the unit which was only 1 hour away and a trailer. On the way to check the unit I found that the mechanic I had used in the past had worked on the unit. His comments where the owner was one of the few people that regularly maintained his equipment and he would not perform a preasure test on the unit. When seeing the unit I could tell is was used with 2500 hours but was well maintained. After 30 checking the belts, engine and under carriage I ended up with the S185 and a Big Tex trailer for $8,700. The trailer needs work, the only thing I did with the S175 was replace the seat. thanks...... with a special thanks to Fishfiles

The T190 sure seemed like a good deal. While I get my machines by chance - someone elses' problem machine that was too costly or troublesome to fix ends up in my yard, I am currently looking for a good deal for a friend. He needs a Bobcat or other skid steer for work clearing foreclosed homes, farms and lots but cannot afford an expensive machine. I am looking for a good deal or fixer-upper to repair and set him up for his work. Been really lucky finding attachments for good prices lately, I hope a machine will be just as easy to find.
