Skids are funny. Everyone has their favorite, and will fiercely defend it. I"m a Case guy-I can control it like another hand. I have run several other brands enough hours to know and to me there"s no comparison. Others will disagree. They haven"t standardized the control systems for skids, so you have to go with what"s the easiest for you- hand controls, foot controls, Gehl style controls, etc. Skids tend to be higher maintainance machines, and a bit more difficult to access the maintainance items. When they get higher hours, you can have shaft splines wearing out, and wheel bearings going out and housings worn where the bearing race goes as well as hydro pumps and motors, etc. As far as electronic on equipment- I felt the same way you did- electronics and farm/construction equipment are a bad mix. However, the machinery that I"ve run with electric controls has impressed me, even after higher hours. Very reliable, with a few exceptions- AGCO equipment being one of them- but that"s just my experience. Paul
