Any one use a Bobcat A300?

[Gareth's Tree]

Pros? Cons? What do you think? Should I replace my tractor ( that weighs 8500lbs, the same as an A300 ) with one? It would be our log mover and run a stump grinder. ( What I currently use my tractor for )

I can vouch for its power, have watched landscapers move car-sized boulders with one.

They leave marks on lawns. Mostly because the tires aren't big enough to the machine to "float". Great gpm for high flow attachments though. You could run a mulcher or whatever with it.

I am excited about these new Qtrak 1240s we are importing, ALL Wheel Steer
weighing 4000 lbs, lift close to 3000Lbs 15" float tires
~~~ 25K less than a A300 I bet, they are badass midrange forwarding machines

The Bobcat A300 and A770 are both available with wide tires. I demoed an A300 in soft sand with wide tires and it did ok but not as good as my tracked machines. If you want to mulch with one plan to add a hydraulic oil cooler and turn the fuel up if it is a tier 3 Kubota and you need to get some work done

I ran one when the Ghel and the minis couldn't cut it. The stearing programming was pretty slick, in my opinion. It was also incredibly hard to get stuck, I actually tried for over 2 hours on an excavation and land clearance job, before getting it high centered.
They are heavy, and considerably wider then a standard skid steer. Keep that in mind.
