Bobcat A300 Skid Steer

The Bobcat A300 is an innovative piece of equiptment. With its articulate steering the machine can get in and out of places easily with little damage. This is due to the fact that all four wheels turn instead of pivoting on them like all other skid steers. But can switch to this mode with the push of a button. Another benefit is that all Bobcat units are keyless so you don't have to worry about losing keys. The only downfall about the Bobcat is that it is a little harder to run since the bucket is controlled by foot pedals while the wheels are controlled by hand controls. Also when hooking up attachments you have to get out of the unit to hook them up.
