The way i see it, you ought to go with an older hydrostatic skidsteer. theres a lot less to wear out on a hydro skid loader and good luck finding parts for an older mechanical skid loader. we are running a Bobcat 722 hydrostatic that is about 1980's vintage. it is a gas, but it gets the job done. we have use it for feeding cows every morning and scraping every Saturday for the last 20 some years ever since it was new.

I was helping a guy a while ago and we had rented a Bobcat 753. something must have snagged a wire that controlled the brakes because we could activate the machine, but we couldn't go anywhere. we ended up dragging it out of the way with our John Deere 2955 loader tractor. If i were you, i would try to steer clear of a brand new skid steer because of the electronics. our old 722 has never had the drivetrain apart in the 26 years we've owned it. the only thing that doesn't work is the hand brake, but we don't need it. try to get an older skid steer that doesn't have all the electronics. I have run almost every brand of skid loader, and i would recomend something like a Bobcat 743, a Case 1845C, or a John Deere 6675. Happy hunting. Hope i was of help to you.
