those little trucks are not too shabby, we had one for shifting hardcore. it takes 3 builders barrows. pikeys robbed it though.
If i was to get another I think i would go tracked and hi lift to save messing around with ramps.
How do you rate the bobcat ? What engine are they ? Never seen one round our neck of the woods, all kubota even though JCB is on the doorstep.

Bobcats are really Doosans and are very decent, 2nd hand value not as good as Kubota or Takeuchi.
Been in concreting for 22 years

bobcat are owned by doosan, but made in there own factory in north dakota and the cz republic, one or 2 parts are similar but thats it, a e26 does not compare to a dosan 2.6t machine

I've hired one of those diggers a fair bit recently, there's a few bits I'd take an angle grinder too and the drive motor hoses are very exposed but other than that it's easily the best I've used (which is basically all of them).
Can't see it from my house
