Skid steer

[cthomas]

Looking to buy a skid steer for some digging work I want to do. Also to mower a hillside once or twice a year. Any recommendation's was looking at a Bobcat T190 with a Kubota engine.

Lots of options.

Do you already own a mower for a skid?

Will you be digging or tracking in a lot of rocky area?

Is there a local Bobcat dealer in your area? If so, might inquire if they are still going to be around in the next couple of years.

I'm a huge bobcat fan, especially the ones with the Kubota engines in them.
T190 is a good solid unit with a really good track record.

What sort of mower? Seems most any skid steer will dig (bigger ones obviously dig bigger). But a mower will require a specific hydraulic flow.

Any particular reason you want to mow with a skid steer, and not with a tractor? Surely your LX is an obvious choice for mowing? I always feel like a PTO driven mower is more bang for your buck than a hydraulic one.
