Anybody got one? Any feeback, good or bad, I've read everything I can get my hands on. Its the right size machine for us and we already own a 763 and an 863. The price is right on these machines. Any tips on what to look for in a used machine? Thanks, Glenn

Rent one and see what you think. I purchased my first tracked machine last year, and now I could not imagine being w/o. There are somethings best left to a skid steer, but you can't beat a tracked machine in the dirt. As all track machines go be sure to check undercarriage and drive system. (track condition-avoid tears on inside of track or exposed cables, rollers and idlers, drive sprockets and motors) Also might consider 06 or newer. I believe this is when bobcat went to the 4 roller design instead of 3-which provides much smoother ride on hard surfaces. On larger models 864, T200, T250, T300 there were some issues w/ drive motors going out due to outer bearing.

If you do a search, Bill Schwab did an excellent post about what to look for in a used skid steer. It was so good I bookmarked it - on my computer which died.
