I have had 3 cat skid steers and all were and are awesome machines. You pay a little more but you get it back when or if you sell them. I think you will have a hard time finding one under 10k without a ton of hours on it.

I serviced my own but they are an awesome machine. Forerunner for dedicated rubber tracks. I was the first guy around here to run rubber tracks back in 2004 or so.
They are Jap made.

With winter coming I would go to a heavy equipment auction and get me a deal.

Bobcat makes an awesome machine. But they are a pain in the arse to work on any part of the engine. I love Bobcats and that's almost all i'll run but I would much rather drive a CAT if given the option, though they are a little more expensive. I'm not sure how other loader engines are to work on but bobcat sucks as far as maintenance.

Look for a S-180 series Bobcat. We had a 763 and the Flow Hydraulics Sucked. We upgraded to the S-180 and it's night and day difference.
