Bobcats get the name recognition and usually are overpriced. cases 1845's are decent machines but usually sell for a premium. JOhn deeere would be my vote, good machines usally over looked. A skid steer is just as everything else, like a loader, tractor. Maintenance is everything. Pins on buckets and loader arms. Most motors and hydraulic pumps SHOULD last more then 1500 hours but as weverything else if contaminated oil, no maintenace they break. And as w/tractors they are very expensive. Hydraulic hookups are a love/hate deal for me. Usally the auxillary hookups mean that they are high flow machines ie bigger hydraulic pumps and better/ bigger coolers. The only problem with that is if they have the quick tach on the front that means they were USUALLY on a cold planer or jackhammer. Whatever you do never buy a skid that ran a jackhammer or cold planer or the like because the vibration and the pounding just beat the machines. Terribly that vibration all day long tears them up. Also depending on how far your shed is away form what your doing grading long driveways etc might look for 2 spds (high and low for faster travel), also if doing alot of ground work maybe a float position. Most come w/that now a days but something to look for.
