Thanks so much for the reply and the welcome. I am not sure how I missed the business name in the earlier comment. Funny enough, I just got off the phone with the guys at Herman, which I ended up learning about via different comment on different forum.
I am in the market for a small skid steer for occasional stall cleaning and hobby farm putzting. Been looking at 310s/371s, etc. Neighbor of mine has an Erickson LM4D for sale. It is in good shape. My thought process has gone like this:
1. No way, no parts and no service.
2. As I learned more about the machine I thought "the tunnel of a 310/610 looks like a swiss watch compared to the log-splitter simplicity of the Erickson. Maybe the "not as much to break" outweighs the "hard to find parts" thing.
3. Ok, but what if something like an axel breaks?
4. Ok, I guess axels are available from Herman Mfg. And I think there are places that can rebuild the hyd pump if needed in the future.
So that leaves mostly generic and/or fixable parts. Last hangup for me is resale value is a fraction of bobcat. But I am planning on keeping it in perpetuity as my needs are not expected to change.
Sorry for the diary entry, and thanks again for the reply.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
