Went shopping at Bobcat yesterday

[Twitchy]

Got my my new skid yesterday, and can't wait to use it. Just waiting for my 74'' combo bucket and tracks to come in. The machine has everything but, two speed and high flow. I added a 80'' bucket instead of the standard 74''.

[Twitchy]

some of their yard stock

[Junior M]

That trailer doesnt look to have heavy enough axles! :nono:

I love the new dash, why did you decide to put the radio there? Or was it there when you bought it? When we get ours I want to put it right below the "press to operate" button..

[KrayzKajun]

congrats!! if you dont mind me asking, how much did tht run you?

[Twitchy]

They only had one in stock.

[talus]

I love lokking at new equipment no matter what color it is. Congrats and good luck with it.

I don't why they put the radio there. But i kinda like it, because it's out of the way and my vision. The trailer is a 5 ton trailer, and the machine and bucket are just over 4 tons. I'm gonna be cutting close w/ the tracks and combo bucket though.

[Junior M]

Aww! You took a pic just for me! Man that thing is purty!! Did it have the six way blade? It doesnt look to have it. One more question, I dont know if you've even looked at Bobcat's mini ex's but have they changed the inside of the cab any? I know they've changed the outside of the cab just a lil bit, but I havent got to go look at any 2009's or even 2008's..

Not only will you be on the brink of being over wieght, its goin to be a tight fit with tracks on to get between the fenders and where are you gonna put the combo? Not much room left...

The dirt bucket stays at the yard. I use it mostly for snow. Tracks will fit inside the rails even w/ the wheel spacers. Glade u liked the 335 pic. As far as what changed i really don't know.

They gave me a good deal because i turned in my other skid. They thew in the radio and the extended warranty at no cost. Nobody's buying and they need to sell, so right now they're giving stuff away.

[DUSTYCEDAR]

WELL THEY ARENT GIVING IT AWAY YET
i asked lol
but i got a hat yes

[Sunscaper]

Wow! What a beauty! Love the S250 best of luck with it.

You never know!

I like the new dash. I would have checked the two speed option box, it would be hard to ever go back to a single speed machine again.

Good luck

[NEUSWEDE]

what kind of tracks did you get?

[mrsops]

Beautiful machine i had a s250 your going to love it. I love the new dash i have it in my t190 check it out at night time it lights up real nice. To bad you didn't get 2 speed in that machine i have 2 speed in my s330 and it is unreal how fast it is plowing snow. How much did that machine run you? does that machine have the sound reduction package?

Yes, it does the sound reduction package. It's really quiet you dont even hear the backup horn. I rather not reveal the price because the salesman is a friend and i don't want to throw him under the bus. No other company could come close to the price for a similar machine. I've seen your trucks and equipment, very nice. You run the same colors as me on the trucks (blue & white) .

That sound reduction package is a great option very quiet. I try telling some of the guys on here how quiet it is but they don't seem to believe me :nono:. You must of got a great number good for you. Blue and white has been my fathers colors for over 30 years its better then having red or white and black like everyone else :laugh:

[YellowDogSVC]

Very nice. Now go get it dirty!!! :)

[CAT powered]

He's alright, Junior. He's a lot better off than a certain CAT 297C owner on our forums.

Yeah, your right :laugh: I'd rather have to small of a trailer, than to small of a truck..

:laugh:

[tallrick]

It's hard to imagine what it's like to put a new machine to work for the first time. Everything I have ever had was someone else's junk pile. Even fixing up an old one it's a disappointment the first time it gets smashed or scraped.

[lifetree]

Very nice, congratulations !!

[Twitchy]

Plowed snow for 5hrs on new years eve w/ it. Great machine, i love it. Can wait to take it in the dirt.

[stuvecorp]

Congratulations on the new machine. Surprised you didn't go with the two speed?

[Twitchy]

Thanks, i shoulda went w/ the 2 speed but, the deal was so good i took it and ran.

[mrsops]

2 speed is sweet exspecially in the snow but if the deal was so good i would of took and ran to. I new you were gonna love that machine

[DUSTYCEDAR]

No action pics

[Twitchy]

what kind of tracks did you get?
I got over the tire metal Grousers.

[Tigerotor77W]

What're you doing in your avatar there? ;)

[Twitchy]

I was removing a tree stump w/ the combo bucket. The stump lost

[Tigerotor77W]

The stump lost

Right.

:p

[FinerCutslawnCare]

He was actually practicing for his upcoming freestyle skidsteer competition in the upcoming olympics...haha

[Twitchy]

We got 2 1/2'' of snow last night (called for 3''-6''), so i got to use the new skid again. Just basically had to do my commercial lots and storage facilities.

Made a short video too. (man, it's hard to operate and take video at the same time) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yoEmp5Yhu4

Hey twitchy I'm a little mad myself about the Storm we were suppose to get we got 2'' here last night not even worth taking pics or a video. I was hoping we were going to get the 6' like they said. Hopefully we get a few more inches tuesday night.

Like the new S250. I think the Metallica music goes well with the new Bobcat. I always was a big fan of the old Metallica music.

I like these little hits, keeps the cash coming in. Only cleaned three commercial lots and sand salted the rest. Some of the companies are crying because of the nonstop snow and sanding charges. Where's the 6''-8'' storm???
