No buyers remorse. Just doesn’t do what I want it to do and I’ll be going back to a tractor.

Can you tell me what you disliked?

That is what I was interested in asking.

Unless the price of these things has risen substantially, it's going to be hard to sell at that price. IMO. ALWAYS hard to sell almost new equipment privately.

Flotation in the fall and spring, she sank like a rock in my washed gravel while plowing and it’s to heavy for its footprint in the woods while trying to remove logs in the spring.

Do you have a lot of bogs and soft ground in your area?

All the ground is soft when the snow just gets done melting. I’ve had a few offers but nothing within reason. I don’t need to sell it and I won’t lose more than 5k on a 40 hour machine. I’ll order turf tires for next winter and add some sand bags in the bed for next winter if it doesn’t sell. I like the machine but I’m also in the process of buying a vacation cottage so I figured if I can sell this and just add a plow to my truck so be it.

Yes, it is heavy for its physical size.

Yooper, did you have a 79 series pickup? I am a cruiser head and toolcat owner. Yooper79?

I’m amazed in all the research I have done with the Toolcat and the Kubota RTV1100, that there are so few alternatives.
The Toolcat is of course a much more substantial machine with 3X power and digging/lifting ability the RTV does not have and 2-3 times the cost.
The Kubota RTV does have a front PTO with snow blowing, rotary broom and snow plowing capacity.
I’m sort of amazed nobody else (Case-IH, Deere, etc) dont offer a 4wd side by side with between 25-75 HP and legitimate front mount pto dig/lift capability. In fact I’m surprised Kubota doesnt make a competitive model to the Toolcat.
It must be a patent issue. The small farm and light commercial markets seem to be never ending for this type of machine.
Does Bobcat own a patent on the design?
