All the engines in skid steers are good engines with only a couple exceptions. The Cummins are good but also use more fuel. There's nothing wrong with foot pedals. For certain applications like slowly sprinkling sand from a raised bucket, hand controls are easier to shake back and forth. I have foot pedals but when you get good with any skid steer, it's just like an extension of your body. I do agree that the flip up doors on the JD 200 series has to be one of the worst ideas ever put on any machine ever made! Another thing to consider with a cab is the front window. A lot of newer machines have a curved windshield. The curve can distort your vision but worse is if it ever breaks you'll be without unless the dealer has one in stock. Expect to lose your right arm when they tell you the price. Also a lot of newer machines have a longer roomier cab. This isn't always the best for visibilty. I looked at a brand new JD and you can't see squat when you look over your shoulders. Dave
