We have a bobcat 463 with bucket forks 36" grapple bucket and making a box pusher for it. we use that for interior demo and other odd jobs that the other 3 are too big for also works great with our 301.6. then we have a cat 248 high flow a 287 and 277b for them we have a rock saw brush mower angle broom 78" grapple bucket power angle plows snow pushers forks snow buckets and for the 287 an 8' snowblower. we use them for pretty much everthing you can think of I think the longer you own them the more you think of doing with them. i used the 287 one time to dig out a recharge system in someones back yard behind their pool my dad came by to see how i was doing and asked where the machine was i was about to dig about 50 feet long and about 9 feet deep in a couple hours. and carry the material out of the back yard and load the ten wheeler in the drive way.

I use one (not mine) for mucking out Cow sheds :) (using a modified tractor scraper) and for putting new sand in the cow stalls where i work.

Spends most of its life up to its axles in cow **** in other words!

Something a bit different

I plan to use my recently purchased 763 for personal use (snow removal and some yard projects). The neighbors have seen it and seem to be overly friendly. The next snowfall will probably have them offering me anything to remove their snow. I've also had a few inquiries about actually doing some work in the neighborhood for real money.

I have a Mustang 960. I use it for general purpose dirt moving on our rural property. I have a hook welded to the bucket and also use it for lifting. Sometimes I borrow a grapple and move felled trees with it.

I just bought my GEHL 4615 and trying to clean up around my small farm using a root rake grapple and smooth bucket but am working through a few mechanical issues which I will need some help with later.

Who uses a dozer blade

I think that I want a 96" dozer blade for my mustang mtl 80. Will it work well enoughto justify the expense?

I use mine around the house and my families houses. I have had it a week and allready regraded a yard, put in a new driveway, dug a boat ramp down to the creek, knocked down a old 12'x24' gazebo, junked an old car, and pushed over some 30' pine trees roots and all. This thing has allready paid for itself!
