I was born & raised on a Bobcat brand & would own no other till last year. I bought a new T595 that only comes with a Doosan engine now that Doosan owns them. Machine had 1105 hours & engine started knocking. I contacted my dealer & took machine back to him for repairs. They installed a new engine because a rebuilt one was not available, that was supposed to be covered under warranty. After repairs my dealer said repairs would not be covered because of neglect in engine maintenance. Said they sent oil sample off & it came back dirty & with alot of sludge. I had a log that showed oil was changed every 100 hours but dealer said my log was not official, only a dealer's log would be honored. Total bill was over 21K!!! NEVER AGAIN. |

I’ve always ran Bobcat. Currently have a S750 what I’ve found with skidloaders if your budget allows buy new or as close to new as you can. For what these used machines are bringing a new one is not that much more money. Do your homework, I would consider a kubota next time. The new deeres are nice too, really easy to get in and out of. If you are in the snow removal business at all I’d stay away from tracks. |
