For a Bobcat man, you should realize that a 632 is hydrostatic. The 32 series was the series before the 42/43(diesel) series as in a 743 which is the next size up. I would guess that at least 95% of all skid steers still have the original oil in the chain case and hyd. tank with only 1250 hours. All the oil in the chain case does is lube the chain. Hydraulic oil can be tested. The hyd. oil filter should be changed regularly though. A place that does oil samples told me that unlike engine oil that looses viscocity, hyd. oil increases in viscocity. They said doing samples can save you having to buy a lot of oil that isn't necessary. On some older machines, like an 825, the chain case and hyd. oil used the same reservoir. Then it would be good to change the oil more often. A 632 would have the standard Bobcat coupler and newer attachments should fit on it. There are a lot of good skid steers to consider and always remember that they will all break down and cost a lot to fix. Just like most other equipment. Some skid steers are made more for construction type work ie/ Bobcat, Case, etc. and others are made more for ag type work ie/ older JD's and New Holland(actually they are almost the same machine. One big problem with looking at a machine like this is visibility. You sit down way too low in them and you can't see what the bucket edge is doing. This takes away the whole advantage of a skid steer. You can't do precise work if you can't see what the bucket is doing. Snow and light material buckets are the exception as they are usually a lot higher. Skid steers are like everything else. Some people will love a certain brand and others will hate it. They all have their good and bad points. Dave

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. 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
