Ok guys, just sold my compact jd650. Good little machine but after five years of it i had enough. Looking for reccomendations on skid steers for general use especially my own personal firewood gathering. I'd like to buy one big enough to mount a grapple. My budget is 8k max. What machines do you guys own and personal experience. I'm leaning toward a bobcat, possibly 743-763 models. I did look at a real clean newholland 555l (38hp kubota diesel) with 2k hours, solid tires good solid machine for 5k but i don't like to have to lift the boom to get at the engine. So let me know your reccomendations.
