Well I got to see the only (supposedly) Bobcat S630 in Mi today at the MNLA Summer Field day. Despite the fact it was sitting in the demo area, nobody was being allowed to drive it. Therefore I can't give a good description of it's capabilities. However sitting in the cab this is what I did notice.

It was definitely roomier than our A300.
Side visibilty sucked.
The salesman says it actually shorter than our A300, but some reason in the cab it felt like the rear end hung way out there

I'll wait until actually get drive one before I make up my mind.

What sucked about the side view? The boom to high or low?? Your A300 has vertical lift boom. S630 is a radius lift path, which should sit lower than your A300.

I wasn't too impressed, but I was also impressed, I am kinda on the fence with the whole new M series.
I just hate how they redesigned the radiators.

The one you saw landed at Carleton equipment of Detroit last week.
After its displayed at a few shows then its getting shipped to Carleton's Saginaw store.
So I'll probably be looking at the same machine you did. I'm also shooting for a Demo of it.

What options did that one have on it?

Boom sat too low. Couldn't see anything near the tires or out the back. I had to get real close to something or back up I would definitely need a spotter. As for how it was set up, it had ACS and that was it. No enclosure, no heat, no Hi-flo, no Air. It did however have speakers if you wanted to install a radio.
