I'm looking for a good used skid steer. Not really partial to any brand, maybe New Holland or Bobcat, but I've never own a skid steer before so what should I be looking for. It's gonna be used for landscaping, cleaning the barn, moving a little dirt and just general use around the place. The only thing "special" that its gonna be used for is I do want a hammer/chisel(500 to 800 lb range) to bust a little rock with, nothing serious though.
I am looking at at older units in the 6 to 10 thousand dollar range. I've found a Bobcat 643 for about $7000 thats been reconditioned. It looks like its in real shape, but the owner says its got 38hp kubota diesel, but the Bobcat homepage says its suppose to have a 28hp engine so I'ma little wary. It's suppose to have a 1000lb life capicity and 9.5 gallon hydraulic flow rate. Is this big enough to run a hammer? I'm sure its plenty big enough for my other needs. What else should I be lookig for?? Thanks, Casey

The Marshall company based at the Briannia Works in Gainsborough
