sorry i know we all have our prefrences but i have to disagree lol i have tore up 2 247b cat loaders in a week and a half they were new i would run circles around a 247 with a T 190 bobcat and thats with a good operator in the cat lol sorry but my personal opinion is cat makes decent dozers they should leave the skid loaders to the guys that was makin them way back when

Henry we need to have a comp then , you in a 190 and me in my 247 renamed 953 BUT we need to do it in all conditions and over 800 hrs the t190 can move faster on a hard surface but I like to see it go where the 247 goes . also I have won that comp already . BUT it really boils down to the app. , the cat MTLs and ASV/terrex love the swamp the bobcats still like to stay on the sidewalk . My only Bytch with cat mtl and asv/terrex is the dang lugs you get 1500 hrs on the tracks and they start to fall of never had tread issue unless you put a skid steer op. on it who likes to just spin them At 2500hrs I have yet to put a new set of tracks on it Just used 1s ONLY because I ran out of larry lugs on a wknd and had a used 1 I had ready to put on .
