I would highly recommend going with a joystick control skid steer!!! We went from a hand and foot control machine to a T650 with iso joystick control and I would never go back!!!! Worth every penny!!
We have a 2005 Caterpillar 252b skidsteer and I use a bobcat s595 while working at my uncle's farm. Both are hand controls. Our Cat is a bit bigger but size aside I'll take our Cat any day over a bobcat for ease of operation, smoothness of controls and just the feeling of the machine on the cat is better.
I have a T630. The difference is it's tracked, radial lift, and has the newer engine. If I could have found a good used one with the Kubota engine I'd have bought it but this one seems fine so far. I'm in Texas so the cold fuel issue won't happen. The 630 has the radial lift while the 650 is vertical. If you're using it mostly for loading trailers you want the vertical. Things I don't like: The cab is cramped but I guess they all are. I hate the door; if it swung overhead you could get out without the arm being all the way down - or open it to talk to someone. The power and lifting capacity seem great - I can get a lot done in a short time. Hope it helps.
Joysticks are for whimps, joysticks are expensive and the electronics suck Get an analog machine and be done with it.... the fancier the controls the more expensive they are to repair. Looks like a nice machine Ryan
i have been running hand/foot controls for 30 years and never had a problem. It's a real pain when one of those stupid hall effect joysticks decide to fail and you have to bend over for the dealer.
I wouldnt go foot controls if I was you. Takes some getting used to one lever doing driving and one doing loader but its so much more precise especially when doing small tight quarter jobs with loader. And my wife and workers can jump right in and figure it out pretty quick. Its basically like driving automatic car vs a manual.
I'm a fan of Tele handlers these days , so versatile and easy to get in and out of , they don't screw the ground up when turning and have a greater lift capacity and reach .
Ryan I did some math a 3300 our skid steer five years old is 660 hours a year that figures out 12 1/2 hours a week how many hours a month Will you put on the skid steer our year and what does the new one cost
I only run joystick controls as well much easier on the body your legs don’t feel like they’ve been pinned under a dump truck for 24 hours. You might want to go with a track machine as well a lot less changing of tires and where your not gonna be on pavement and how much you’ll end up using the machine tracks would cost u less over time no flats either
s750 2 speed trans high lift good for filling big twin screw tmr engine has power does take fuel has issue with headlamps bulbs burning out and relay circuit board next to left joystick overheated/burned on the one at work. biggest issue is the poorly designed quick tach, both pins have to engage attachment fully or the cast clevis linkage above the pin will snap 10,000 times and believe me i've replaced it almost that many times. there's a problem with attachments getting packed with snow/ice so quick tach sucks in winter. at work they also have the new 2019 gehl R190's that are all joystick control only and i hate them, takes about 40 minutes for joystick to warm up on a -10 morning just to get it to move and when i does move there's a delay so crashing into overhead doors, livestock gates & tmr is going to happen even at idle speeds. mine is 1996 bobcat 853 old school foot pedals/joysticks starts up -30 below slow yes but drives/stops normal!
We took the door off of ours, the cab gets all sorts of hay chaff next to the seat and stuff, but we can see well, and it's easier getting in and out, the windows can get dirty though.

The1 you were driving looks real clean, the Kubota is a good choice
Hey you where in my backyard pretty much there good to deal with and good machines
Oh your back .... You got the new toy fever !

That engine compartment was a lot cleaner then that rusty one you looked at online I would stay away from that #WorldsOkayestFarmer
I like all your videos Ryan

Very cool, Ryan. I suppose your need for another machine is becoming quite acute. Thanks for keeping us "involved" in the selection process.
Dude, get a Kubota, hydro over hydro vs electro over hydro... plus the door is not a problem, it slides up and in, so you won’t rip it off...
I like the one u tested , I think that fits u , little smaller bucket though lol
Andrew camarata had some good information on skid steers, check him out.

Buy it. Them things are easy on fuel
Yeah they maybe. But there to damn expensive
sweet machine
Great video as usual.
Like the video Ryan , keep up Videos .

Nice.
stick with the kubota powered bobcats
That one was!
kubota works with bob cat and vermeers and toros
Wish could seen you not far from dewitt iowa
Craig Equipment in Wentzville Mo. Has a S 530 bobcat 529 hrs. For $15 995 maybe you should look in states close by for better deal .
Bad thing about a cab. Windows are always dirty and you can't see shit.
He will see lots of shit especially when he loading it
We took the door off of ours, the cab gets all sorts of hay chaff next to the seat and stuff, but we can see well, and it's easier getting in and out, the windows can get dirty though.
Didn’t you say the 750’s gulp fuel ?
Hand or foot controls
Do a JCB test
Our s650 has buttons to turn it on
what year is it kurt
2013!
Where is Rocket going to ride in there?....he will be one unhappy puppy.....
Nice machine until you have to work on it...
Bob-tach not wedges *
The wedges are a part of a Bob-tach
@@HowFarmsWork agreed ! Did you buy it ?!
go with with john deer
Where's the JCB ... ?
That bobcat doesn’t lift very good
