I’ve had a few, there great, until it breaks down!
Try changing or jumping the battery when it goes bad.lol
Everything is so crammed in there its hard to work on them.
When there working, they are great, with so many attachments there very versatile.
The other down side is if you turn sharp they till up the ground and leave a mess.
Tracks are better in most cases but they all tear up the ground.
Also they eat tires.
I've got an RC-30. I don't tear up grass. A battery is no sweat, and I've had no issues.
I live on the beach here on 75X105'.....
I use it to trim my Elae Agnus Hedge here at home instead of a ladder, and grapple the trimmings, I move 2 x 55 gal water barrels and pump, down at the ranch. I pull and use the 6x12' 6 ton dump trailer full of whatever I put in it.
I have driven through plastic mud 2' deep with 12' of oak 30" around in the grapple, and can climb 1:2.5 sand dunes pushing 1.5 yards up slope. I get specifically called to move windblown sand off of turf grass and back over the seawall, because I don't tear up grass.
Its a handy trailer jack... Concrete buggy.
I don't do anything by hand I can get done with my RC.
Naturally, the root rake/grapple is my cutting cross buck and pile maker, I don't file and stack firewood.
I will never own a Bobcat with foot control or wheels, ever again. They suck, by comparison. I don't care how much tracks may cost to replace, whenever that might be, tires were no cheap date, and they sucked bad in my kind of mud. Always needing air, and it takes a serious air compressor to set the beads.
I kind of like the suspension, too.
Say what you want, but I'm the guy that can grade flat or swale, by eye, faster than a tractor and box, not everyone can, but I can do flat grading blindfolded. Done some for fun.... A friend with a very similiar hp and size FEL and box and I did two places for him at a rental he had. We graded new driveway aprons. He had to buy the steaks and I had the pleasure of cooking them while he finished.
