Which Skid Steer Loader is Better? Reviewing Our New S66 Bobcat Skid Steer!

If it’s in the finance of your farming I’d suggest keeping both skid loaders that way if one decides to give you issues you have a backup skid loader

2 is 1,one is none. Life motto to live by. Easier to have 2 or something incase one fails, then to rely on the one and only, just to have it fail when you need it the most.

The slide up door on the Kabota is awesome

I went with a Kubota this spring mainly for the overhead door. I didn't want to be taking it on and off all the time. The price difference was definitely a factor too. People forget Bobcat used Kubota engines for many years before Doosan bought them out. I'm happy with mine so far. Would have bought a Bobcat if they had a overhead door and price was the same!

Ive always liked the Gehl skid steer 2 joysticks one for driving and one bucket very fun to operate . I used bobcats after farming working construction i could never fully get the hang of the foot controls lol

Nice video guys. I have a 50 cow dairy in central Illinois. I have ran New Holland loaders for the last 30 years. A couple years ago I kept my old L218 and bought a new L318. This was the first time that I didn't trade my old machine in. Keeping my old loader was one of the best things I've ever done. It is so nice having two loaders. I keep the new one out of the manure. Both machines are rated at 1800 lbs. Congratulations on your new machine. I know they are expensive, but they are awesome.

Yeap guys I would keep both nice going good purchase love u guys❤

Congratulations, I'm sure you're going to like it.

Ride control is nice. What it does is open up a valve, and it introduces an accumulator to the circuit which is basically a big cushion. As you hit bumps, the oil is allowed to expand and contract within the accumulator, and the bucket will move. Now, as far as having to pay for and unlock the feature, I always thought that was a little ridiculous lol.

I liked the Case, all hand controlled SSL's. My son in law has a Cat on tracks, and those controls are very similar, all hand. I'm not a good dancer, so foot controls are not always easy for me.😂

They're nice machines No matter what you do they're all gonna get dirty And yes the windows in the front they always break My Bobcat is old 1972 The old gas one But it works good In my New Holland I like that machine got Kaboda motor And I don't have all that electronic garbage But you have 2 nice machines there I keep both I like them Just stay safe and have a good day we'll catch you on the next one

My brother has a new Holland L328 with bigger tires and it out preforms the LX 985 big time I give the biggest tires a lot of the credit As for me I run a 65 hp MFD tractor with a loader, way more economical , lot less maintenance and very little fuel I fixed up my own design to change attachments without leaving the seat

A bit amazed you got hand/foot on a new one.............Pilots anyone can run. We always ran Gehl's and then switched to Cat when they brought out the A series, after standing on your head to work on things, the Cat's were amazing the way they had things laid out and easy to get to. I would have probably went back with a Gehl, but my wife liked the Cat...............Always laugh I bought Cat because it was easier to get to things to work on it, but we never really ever worked on them. Other than service, we had one bad battery cable, a few batteries, and that was it to this point.

Enjoyed watching the video 😊

I run without a door year-round in SW Wisconsin on my CASE 1845C. The door is such a hassle for the reasons you mentioned.

I always enjoy your commentary on why you purchased what you did. I am sure that this purchase will prove to have been a good one. Also, many of the comments from your subscribers are insightful.

I just purchased a Kubota SVL 65 with enclosed cab, I use only on dirt that’s why a purchased a track loader.

Great Video again! I agree with your Dad. All the electronics in everything this day and time is a worry! They are making everything so it has to go back to the shop to be worked on. As you know getting parts right now is awful! I had a work truck out of commission for 6 weeks because the wheel hub assembly was on back order. I think your smart keeping both Bobcats. I don’t watch TV. But I sure watch Gierok Farms videos ! I feel like you’re Family! Thanks! WH Gaddy

We have an S300 at the Showgrounds and IT has both foot and hand controls !!!!
