I am wooped. Got out all of the chain saws to clear out the brush for the new vinyl fence were installing. Hauled all of that off, then rented a MT55 Bobcat to dig the holes for the posts. For excavating, I am really not impressed with this machine after running the big ones, but it can dig a bunch of holes really quick. Got started setting the posts, but it got dark so we quit to drink.

Was it a turbo? Bobcats are weak, I like a Takeuchi TL140, bout a 10,000lb skid steer with tracks and 80 HP
my rental place started renting them, its what everyones buying around here. It will also load a fullsize dump truck unlilke most Bob cats

Yes its a turbo, but its one of the stand-on units; powerless and the tracks blow. We usually rent Ditch Witch Sk650's but the DW dealer is 99.7 miles from here, not real practical. The bobcat place also sells Stihl where we buy all of our saws for disaster work, they hook it up when I need other stuff. Tom from PSC swears by Tak, if I ever buy a full size unit Ill check them out for sure.
I have a huge chipper in TX, wouldnt do much for you though. laughing1

the problem I have with Tak is the parts price. how much is a replacement track? at one of our last jobs, a contractors tracked Tak lost a track and it sat for 4.5 months while he waited for them to import some, then they were over $2K each. ours are 18" wide, last about a thousand hours and are $2800 a set. 10.5K# machine. I want to run a Tak, they seem to have a cult following. fwiw, the case 450ct is $51K with cab, air, ride control, 2 speeed, double plumbed, etc. I guess the new on es have pressurized cab, different front glass setup and a suspension seat that also air rides. We want one, but have 4 as it stands
