Local used equipment dealer has a gehl RT 210 for sale. Its close to the size I want.
He said that the gehl is a takeuchi with different paint, but I don't think the 210's are one of those. It says Manitou on the tag, and its yanmar powered.
Anybody familiar with these particular machines- good or bad? We will be primarily using it with forks, and minor bucket work. Not everyday moving dirt.
He's got a Deere 331 also, but its windowed cab and door and $15,000 more $$, with similar hours. A open cab is fine for us, and actually probably better considering our use as forklift- at least you can climb out if you need to with the forks up a little ways, the deere you cant' open the door.
He's got kubota 75's and a couple different bobcats and the newer case's also. I would like a bigger machine for carrying capacity to set my steel crane mats. 85-100hp with 3- 5,000lbs carry capacity.
I don't really need the loader, it would be handy about 6-10 times a year. And if we had one, I'm sure we would find ways to use it.
