1950 is hard place to stop since CASE and CAT go to 2K for their ROC class. Also vertical or radial lift?

Ok say 2 k then. It doesn't really matter on vertical or radial.

[BIGBEN2004]

Cat 236BII or a new 246C with no thought in it. Since you said no price limit it would be a no brainer for me. They are fast, strong, reliable, and are flat grading almost as good as a track machine. They are balanced very well with a good long wheel base. Pilot controls are the only controls I will ever want to buy and run ever again so it is Cat hands down for me.

S 205 is a good choice.

[mrsops]

s205 all the way i own 2 there a great machine real powerhouse. i also interverted the rims on mine and i have one that is only 5'wide

[cat2]

What options did you get? price?

You could go 420 - 69 hp/1850 roc
430 - 77 hp/2000roc
440 - 83 hp/2200roc (*net hp numbers)

How or what are you planning the machine to do? Two speed?

2 speed is great for plowing snow

[stuvecorp]

After you have two speed, will never get a machine without. For plowing it rules, and I used the two speed when sweeping parking lots.

Anyone ever have any problems with two speed? Like anything breaking? How much more does it cost?

[cat2]

the dealer would never screw me over, but i paid Around $26000 for a s-160. All my options are, counter weight kit, suspension seat. thats all i can think of
now

I think at least with the Case it is around $1,000-1,500 if I remember right. Never had problems but some times it would come on slowly. We plowed with a 95XT(1700 hours) years ago and everyone was hard on it and the two speed still worked good.

No heat or air

[mrsops]

No heat or air

ahhh cat you paid top dollar i think.. there giving that machine away now

[KPS]

I've plowed a fair bit with a single speed skid, i bet a two speed is just awesome. A skid is much better in tight areas than a truck but it took me forever to do long pushes and to commute from job to job. Sure would like to try one some time.

i just started a new thread about pricing of skid steers post it up there cat 2

[cat2]

thanks i seen that

[Fieldman12]

I would say a Case 430 or even a 320 Deere.

[Fieldman12]

A 420 Case would be more comparible to the hp of the 320 Deere.
