We need to replace our old failing BobCat loader. We're using it to move rocks, remove multiflora rose, and fallen small trees and generally push debris around. Not sure if BobCat is the most reliable anymore. Also to do some light grading and snow removal. It's being used on sloping terrain.

Cat is a good brand. I don't think there is a lot of difference between the brands anymore in that they all have attachements and longevity. I would talk to a rental supply house. Ask them which one will accept other brands attachements. Go for your most versatility.

I'm looking for a used Bobcat skid steer loader for sale in the Prince George, BC area. Anyone know a good used heavy equipment dealer here?

I found used Bobcat skid steer loaders for sale at http://www.myequipment It says they ship anywhere in Canada, and they're located in BC.

I think it is a 1200 but am not sure. Models 1000, 1200, 1200a, 1400 look very close.

The obvious answer, it should be on the side in big letters.

The less obvious answer, there will be a plate somewhere on the frame. It should be metal and probably 2"x4". If it's not on the top support rail (if you're in the operator's seat, look up), then look in the engine compartment towards the back of the skid steer.

The lift arms get slower as I run the machine (89 nh 555L) longer. I have to speed the engine up in order to get the arms higher and sometime this isn't enough. The mobility of the machine is not affected, just the lift. Could it be a bad valve or heat buildup in the fluid?

Double check the oil level HOT. As the oil heats up, the viscosity changes. The oil will become thinner. Also, as the hyd. pump heats up the clearences expand,witch could give you an "internal leak"AKA lower operating pressure.

I pressed it and I seemed to be going faster, might this be 2 speed?

Here is the operator's manual for your skid steer... go see if you can locate the button you mean :

Just moving dirt and stone and leveling it?

Around here you can rent a small 50hp for $35-50 an hour but you'll do a lot of running in circles if you've never used one. However if you have the time and the money they're a blast to play with. With an operator $50-75 an hour and a 100hp, half again as much. RScott
