Holy smokes, CRJ, what's that thing run . . . $35k??? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif (And can you get it with twin CF34s for an extra couple million? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

Yesterday I was quoted thirty one without air, thirty four with. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

They're wanting to move the 763's, nineteen five basic machine and nineteen nine for the one with auto leveling bucket and suspension seat.

They do have nice equipment. And the toolcat would be a great addition to any estate or just tool nutz collection, tractor nutz too.

That is one slick machine! Nicer cab than my truck!

I'm wondering if the FEL bucket lifts high and far enough back to load it's own lift bed (like "over the shoulder"). Now THAT would be a neat trick! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Yes, I think I heard General Electric was offering an after-market turbo-fan mod... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Bobcat makes nice machines but way to expensive.

That's not a skid steer is it? Just curious how it steers.

$34k, that's not bad. About twice what I paid for my Kubota b2910 and it only has one seat and no air conditioning. What a great toy, er tool!

Mowing is really cool, but it seems to me that with an auger and a hydraulic post driver you could be a fencing wizard. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

It's got what Bobcat calls "all-wheel steer mode" where both the front and rear tires turn...very friendly on the turf and a small 102 inch turning radius.

When I was turning while mowing it felt like I was rotating on a fixed turntable. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That's exactly what I was thinking, Jim.

That combined with the fact that I can just rent the Bobcat attachment from a rental yard at a reasonable rate...

I sense some fencing projects in my future! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Perhaps what makes them such GOOD machines is the quality that goes into them. Hence the price tag.

You get what you pay for.
