I see what your saying but not seeing does have a disadvantage. We were already looking at Cats from the start because thats the brand My bud and I like.
But you couldn't tell that was your favorite brand right?
Hint look at the licence plate

Ive never had a problem with visibility, but once your used to something, you may just not notice!
Using my backhoe to load doesnt always work though, the reason i would get a skidsteer(mainly) is to use that for more appropriate skidsteer type work, then having to lug a backhoe around where its not needed!
Ive also never had a sore anything from running a bobcat, but there again, its what i ran the most, so maybe I just havent experienced any better yet!

New Holland and Deere badged New Hollands. Their controls are the bomb. I become one with the machine in a NH. Hydro copulers aren't for every one I have heard stories about them freezing up in cold weather, and they need lots of grease. They are best for landscaping and construction crews, not for farmers and people who dont use their skids daily.

Not for me unfortunately. I wish it was because I would love to get into construction especially right now while I am in school. This summer I want to get a job in it but don't know were to start at lol.

Ohh my bad, I thought maybe you were getting one! I was thinking that was pretty crazy that you could afford a machine like that, being so young haha.
As for getting in construction, you should be able to without too much trouble. They might make ya operate the shovel for a little while though!

There's a guy that lives on the next street over from us thta has one of those. Every time that I see him I laugh out loud while looking in his direction and then roll some smoke for him. He knows that I am making fun of him but alas, there's nothing he can do. He drives one of those! Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!

Does anyone know if Dodge supercharges any of their trucks like the Ford SVT or HD version of the F150? Just curious -- I know now not to tangle with the new HD trucks (found out the hard way LOL). At least until the sticks go in, and I'll give 'em a run for their money. I didn't actually get beat that badly, just a slowish pull away by the '08 HD F150.
