Hi gang! I need some assistance from the experts, I'm in the process of specing and pricing track loaders for my property. All work is off road on hills, brush cutting and clearing. I'm pricing the three brands in my area which are Bobcat, Kubota and Case, all good dealers. The Bobcat is not competitive so far.
I can get a new Kubota SLV75 for 55K or a new 2019 Case TR310 for 50K. The 310 I would need to purchase in Pa, the local dealer is way too high. Local dealer has a 2018 TR270 rental with 172 hours and wants 45K. No new units in stock, all sold out. The Kubota specs very close to the Case 310 and offers the hydraulic controls rather than EH. I have owned a Case backhoe and mini excavator but also own a Kubota tractor. The Kubota is a 2001 and other than maintenance, the only repair was to install a new battery in 2013. The Case mini blew a seal in the hydraulic drive, what a pain to fix. Thankfully the folks here helped me with the technical aspect.
Any thoughts or advise would be greatly appreciated
