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.
