I had a small case 1816c and it was very handy but just way underpowered and small. I have a 10 acre property that I use the equipment on and help a lot of family and friends with home and garden projects and move a lot of snow for them and the people close by. I would guess I might put 3 or 4 hours on a skid steer a week just doing property maintenance ex: driveway work, landscaping, moving downed trees and brush cleanup and what not and in the winter push snow. So for me I'm sure I can get away with a less than perfect machine. My price isn't set it just seemed like a nice machine. It had no leaks, ran strong no smoke, no slop on the controls and no hesitation or chunks in the drive motors. It has 2100 hours and was used as a highway dept. Machine to load snow. I think he said the year was a 94. But I also have seen a few high hour bobcats with a heated cab going for 11,000$ which I may be able to make a little money with on the side. I'm just torn. It's one more machine to maintain and one more spot to take up in the barn. Just trying to decide if it's really worth it or not. I don't know how a loader may affect maneuverability or vision when I'm bush hogging or tilling or dragging a box blade. It's not a quick detach loader. Those run 7 grand and up so it would have to be permanent

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
