Tim –

Didn’t even know Bobcat made a line of compact Telehandlers, and I own one of their skidsteers, and pass by the dealership with some regularity, it’s between here and Concord.

I see these more often - http://promo.jlg.com//jlg/files/JLG_Compact_Tele_Bro.pdf

Even older Telehandlers have attachment options, at least a minimum of buckets and truss booms / jibs, newer ones have something more of a smorgasbord –

Though the much more readily available rental options (rented everywhere) with Bobcats “universal quick attach” system would make that coupling system a handy feature. I’ve even got a quick attach plate set up with hydraulic snow plow which I’m pretty happy about right now with the suddenly waist high snowbanks.

Only an educated guess, but I suspect that the smaller market share these compact models have will see them hold their value a little better than the more common size machines. I’d think, in the coming year, you’ll be able to buy a full size version for pretty much the same money.
