Strengths bucket break out force,digging depth,horsepower.

Weaknesses operator comfort,expensive parts,engine compartment access.

Overall Not a machine to spend long hours in.

Strengths 4 way blade, quick detach buckets,factory hydraulic thumb, good starter in cold weather, good heater and A/C, zero swing, no hydraulic leaks or engine oil drips

Weaknesses It has a narrow cab door, the cab has some squeaks while tracking, the low pressure A/C recharge port is accessable only from behind the seat through the cab, it could use a 6 way blade, tracks don't turn well in high speed travel, parts are expensive

Overall could not be without it, but Bobcat dealers always have rentable attachments to use with their machines making their owners more versitle
