I had a lot of trouble with my Deere 317. 2 road service calls, and then they came and took it back to there shop and went over it completly where they corrected "several other problems" I would tend to stay away from Deere. If I were looking for a skid, I would probably look at a bobcat (YIKES;)) as thats the closest skid dealer to me other than deere, but thats just me.

I have several nh 565 they load material all day everyday 100 yds a day average. I also have a 180 with pilots it is a fast machine the pilots are very precise a good dealer will adjust them when they get the machine new before they sell it. I have replaced several starters a fuel pump few hydro lines but nothing major and I only change the oil 1 or 2 times a year. These machines have had a hard life always outside they are never allowed to warm up and they just keep going some have 5k hours.

Typical day for one of our 565
