Hey, everyone! My husband has always been a Bobcat fan; we have had 4 of them and rarely had issues. Fast forward to 3 years ago, we bought a new T190 and this thing is a POS (and has been from the get-go). Now, we are wanting a new machine. Asked Bobcat about a trade-in on it (they have done extensive warranty work on this machine; rebuilt left side track and parts, drive motor has gone out, hydraulics have gone out, etc; major issues) and they said because of the issues, they won't even give us payoff (which was financed at .9% for 60 months); yet, we have never paid for any of this work, because everything wrong with the machine has been warranty stuff (that should have never torn up to begin with). Hubby is ticked! Not to mention, that because BC is territorial, other dealers nearby won't talk to us about selling us a new machine. I have since found out that the price they are quoting us on the T650 is $63k with no attachments.
Which leads me to my question: the Case dealer, who is trying to earn our biz has offered us a TR320 for about $15k less than BC on the T650 (with a 78in bucket as well). He knows my hubby is mad at BC and the reasons why we are thinking about leaving BC. (And, yes, I have that price in writing already). My only question (and I have read reviews while pouring thru these forums); should I be concerned that Case is so much lower cost than BC? Is there a reason? Should I expect major repairs with the Case? It seems like a well built machine, but I wanted to ask. Would you pay the additional $15k for the T650 or try out the TR320? I know it is a subjective question, but was wondering if anyone else had also experienced that great of a price difference btw the companies.
Thanks everyone for reading my long-winded questions and explanations. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :)

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
