hey all

looking to get a ~ 35 hp CUT and am loving this site. i am a new owner of 44 acres (1/2 tillable, 1/2 timber) that i'll be cash renting the tillable, but doing some logging, habitat improvement, mowing, and loader work.

i'm thinking of the bobcat 235. it has a free FEL right now and the beefy heavy frame and great loader capacity, coupled with the price really has my attention. its either that, or get a ~ 10 yr old deere/kubota/nh.

what are some deere/kubota/nh that are on par with the bobcat? i know the bobcat likely lacks some ergonomics, paint quality and resale value compared to a deere/kubota.

tia!!!

Can't really comment on the Bobcat since I know very little about them, but I have a 34 horse Kubota L3400 and couldn't be happier. Good luck on your purchase. Be sure to post pics.
