I sold my New Holland tractor finally and want to get into a skid loader. I want something big enough to lift a big round bale of hay. I prefer pilot controls but could do regular hand controls. Anything to look for? I would consider Case, Bobcat, Cat, Komatsu. I could maybe do a John Deere but as you can see in my avatar I don't like the green stuff as much.

TIA

P.S. When I delivered my tractor I got 9.6 mpg loaded and 10.4 unloaded. :wtf:
 
My 763 Bobcat is alright. But not anywhere near dependable is any Deere I have every owned..
 
We have bunch of skidloaders. 3 Case 85 xt. 1 Case 95 xt. 1 New Holland Ls 190. 1 John Deere. The John Deere is a POS if you want my honest opinion. The New Holland is OK. It's main redeeming quality is the 2 speed. I like the 85 xt's most, but I like the 2 speed on the 95. I would only consider a Case if it were up to me.
 
Looks like I'm getting into a Cat 226B. Does anyone have any experience with this specific model. My boss has a 226 that I have some experience in, but this is quite a bit newer.
