I have an older Bobcat 763. I think it is a 1996 model. 2600 hours with tires, a bucket, forks, and a snow blade. I rent a post hole digger as I don't need one very often. I have chains for it. It plows my driveway (1/4 mile long) and I haul big round bales with it that weigh about 1200 lb. In the five years since I bought it all I have done is change oil, fluids, and grease it and had the dealer change the oil in the chain cases. It has foot controls and they are okay although the people who have hand controls prefer them and I probably would too.
