I have a 1996 940
Things I like: * Very simple machine, easy to work on, my friend has a bobcat and everything is so hard to get to * parts are avail and inexpensive (goldeneagledirect.com) * I like the t-stick and hate it all at the same time, it is nice to only use one hand but it is a pain to climb over it when getting in or out. * I like the single pin, but hate it again, I like it better than bobcats system. i think it is simpler and easier to attach, but it does not draw the bucket tight which give you some slop. I also have an adapter plate to bobcat (they are like 700 new)
Things that I don"t like: * Up until they used the one pin attachment - which is a mustang only thing * dont know if my machine is "loose" or what but when pushing hard into a pile of dirt it wants to "jump" the bucket grabs which you move backward slightly which makes you move the stick and the entire process repeats, I find when doing this to brace myself to the cab when pushing and it eliminates it. I also plan to replace the t-stick damper which should help with this * You have to remove the cage to work on it, it does not tilt back like the newer bobcats * The fuel tank is behind the seat. Need to lean over the hot engine to put fuel in... * The did not put a flapper or turn the exhaust so the mufflers are all rusted out (just stupid)
I have some issues with mine, mostly from VERY poor maintenance (letting it overheat and run low on oil) but I do not think this is a problem with the machine - just mine...
They are MUCH less than the same bobcat and I feel easier to work on
