A skid steer for the most part is a skid steer may be some that have fancier doodads than others but thats not important.
I too cannot stand all the electrics that are on any equipment today, the benefits seem to be short term as alot of money has to be spent to keep them up long term.
I'm partial to a Bobcat but only because I worked for a dealership for a while. Parts and service is great on a B/C, but would assume the same on other major brand names.
When I worked for the dealer fully 90% of late model G series machines that came to the shop were for electrical.
I'd like to have a mid to late 90's 863 C or F series the G series is when they went nuts with computer and electronic controls.
Believe an 863 is rated for 2200# lift but it's not a 9k machine.
Hour numbers are like any other machine it depends on the amount of service and PM done, I've had to pull drive pumps and motors at 1500 hrs. then I've saw them with 3000+ still preforming great. These will be the most expensive items to consider.
Track machines are great but I cant seem to justify the price difference. They do ride rough but they dont buck like a wheeled machine.
Skid steers are as handy as a pocket on a shirt, with all the attachments available they can do about anything.
