#2 I once rented a Bobcat to smooth out my gravel road, piece of trash, unable to lift much when I trie to scoop pea gravel it just slipped and would not bite into the pile

Plus as a slip-steer it ate tires as a matter of coufse

Piss poor machine.

#4 Everyone and their brother is making better skidloaders than Bobcat nowadays. Weak economy or not, this was going to happen eventually.

#6 Bobcats were hot shit when they came out, but that was a while ago, and they kept their prices high while competitors built cheaper - and equally able - knockoffs. RJ - I've seen wizards on these who do wonders in tight spaces - sounds like a personal skills issue that additional time in the seat may have helped

#7 Hey Frank...wat you think? Would Van Jones be a good Bobcat operator? I suspect he'll be 'under the bus' and looking for employment on Tuesday.

#8 WouldVan Jones be a good Bobcat operator?

no, that requires work, and Mr. Van Jones is lazy physically and mentally.
