Interesting because I just went through this same decision. I also ended up looking at the Bobcat T595 or T650 and the Cat 259D. I ended up with the Cat 259D. Did you end up doing a demo on these units? That didn't put me over the edge but it certainly helped. It just felt like Cat was a step or two above in terms of the cab environment, comfort and just sophistication I guess. But in the end what really made my decision for me was resale value. The Cats hold their value better than the Bobcats. Also, I was concerned about the fact that Bobcat is about to release an entire new line up of skid steers and didn't want to have to compete with that when I go to sell mine in 3 to 5 years. Oh, and once you put the counterweight on that 259D it lifts quite a bit and they have excellent breakout force. I really don't think you can go wrong with either manufacturer.

We had a t650 cat289 Deere 325 and went and looked at all the others. It came down to bobcat and cat and the deciding factor was running hydraulics the bobcat slowed down opening and closing a grapple as the 289d didn’t.

@suburbanhobbyist2752

4 жыл бұрын

That's because Bobcat cheaped out with their hydraulic system. Cat is the only one still using a proper pump and system in general. I can't remember off the top of my head what it's called but all the manufacturers stepped away from that system because it became cost prohibitive except Cat. Not everyone needs the hydraulics to perform at a high level but if you do then Cat is by far the better choice. I think that is why you see Cat skid steers being used on construction sites where the tools demand more power and the Bobcats are used mostly by landscapers.

You should be happy you did not pick Gehl. I got an RT250 with all the bells and whistles. The thing is amazing for digging and pushing but what i bought it for was the high flow of the machine. They advertise some very high numbers for flow but they fail to mention it is an open flow system and if your high flow demands all the HP, you have nothing left to drive the machine or move the boom. I brought this up with a rep at husker harvest days and he just flat out told me i bought the wrong machine. He did nothing to try and help. I am planning to trade for the new style bobcats. Also, Gehl has a programmable creep gear; at least it did on the RT250.

We have had gehls on our farm forever and their very tough machines. It looks like on the new bobcat that the rear is very flimsy and if you backed into something it'd do damage where as the gehl looks alot tougher with thicker steel and a big bumper.

I'm glad you got what you wanted. But I'm going to tell something that time will teach you. You got all the bells and whistles on your machine and you will find that all of them will cost you money. After about two years they will stop working and IF they can be fix it will cost more to fix them than they are worth. Stay away from anything electric. If the machine was to be sitting outside all the time the in the weather the electric parts will stop working. Just look at the new JD tractors. They stay in the shop and you can't work on them. Because they won't let you have the tools to fix them. In digging you need a ridged arm machine. In the construction world you have a lift and carry machine. But you are not in the construction business. The longer you run your machine the better you will get. I will tell you one thing you need to know. When grading keep your bucket somewhat full. Never try grading with a empty bucket. Good luck to you.

I hope you realize that each manufacturer could easily do the same thing and make Deere look horrible as well. All these manufacturers have advantages and disadvantages. My biggest issue with Deere is the weight of their machines is insane. For the same specs their machines are easily 2500 to 3000 lbs heavier. But they also have other issues I didn't like. Their biggest advantage is they can lift more. That's about it really but that is because they are extremely heavy.
