Should I buy a new G-Series Toolcat 5600? Please help!

[trlbrkr]

Update
100 hours on G now
Still feel a major upgrade over my previous D in power-comfort-traction
Glitches covered by warranty
A tail pipe bracket weld broke
One of the spring clip's on air filter cover came broken from factory
Antenna broke?{new design that pivots but is not spring loaded and when dump body came down broke it off? bad design, I mounted new one on angle through cab light mount so it will not happen again}
Service
I did 50 and 100 hour service myself
New engine drain is mounted above frame member so it makes a mess. Next time I will redirect with a piece of cardboard or such
New fuel filter is huge-expensive and have to access through panel on passenger seat?Not good
2 questions to solve before warranty runs out
If I suddenly slowdown the belt squeals? This new system has automatic tension control so I cannot adjust it?
Occasionally when shifting forward and reverse quickly there is a hesitation?
Parts
Bobcat has us by the .... on these new units. All service parts so far cannot be bought anywhere else? Hyd. Oil is 46 and engine oil 15-40 but there is no rating on container's? Price is 3 times tractor supply yet service manager claims they are worth it? Would be nice to have proof
Traction
The traction and ride is much better with turf tires. I have had it stuck once, tires were full of slime. The traction control helps but it will not go where my tractor can

Thanks for the update :thumbsup:

I may have to trade in our F series to get the traction control.
