[QUOTE="xksjocko, post: 54435, member: 7344"] Hello all, new to the forum & would really appreciate your opinions on these options. I'll be using the skid to remove cedars off our hunting land & we are also building a bridge to span a creek. Here are the options, both are tracked skid steers, both incl. bucket: Option #1 2010 John Deer 319D Manual QT. Canopy. ROPS. Mechanical suspension seat. Std fan drive. Cold start pkg. Counterweights. Polar tread track. 152 hrs. $35,000. My experience w/ the demo: looked good, ran good, Engine is very clean, although it looks to me like a guy'd hafta unbolt a lot to get at anything in the engine. I believe the service intervals are wider spread (500 hrs) on a Deere and I've read most others are at 250 hrs. Option #2 Case 420 has a cab enclosure, heating and air, hydraulic lock for the bucket, and even a radio. This unit is priced at $29950. 432 hrs demo: smoked quite a bit on start-up in 70* weather, this worries me quite a bit. I don't want something taking a dive on me while I'm stuck down a valley full of trees. On that note, is there a way to get these units freed up from the hydrostatic transmission if we need to tow? Any and all responses are much appreciated, thanks. [/QUOTE]
