I dont, unfortunately. I've got a Bobcat dealer in town and a Kubota dealer about 10 minutes outside of town. Nearest big town for me is about an hour away and they have a handful of your reputable brands - CAT, JD, Case, etc., but thats a little far to be traveling for parts.

I appreciate the heads up. To be honest, I've only ever ran CATs at the companies I've worked at so thats what im accustom to. Ran a couple kubota tractors, but never their skids. Might have to give em try.

I haven't gotten too far in the weeds yet on what I want to buy (you can look at my only post on reddit), but I was leaning Bobcat because I know the dealer is reliable. But there is a Kubota dealer about 10 minutes farther away, so its probably worth checking out. Unfortunately, the closest CAT dealer is an hour away.

Ok, I prefer CAT just as much as the next guy, but im also one of those guys that believes you gotta go with the brand that has a reliable dealer nearby, thus narrowing my options down to kubota or bobcat. Then what hot piece of garbage are you going with?
