Whats your take on this?

Alright, I have a John Deere 317 skidsteer and Im looking to upgrade to a 325 I need more lift capacity and the 2 speed for the winter for plowing. But Ive also been looking at the Bobcat S300. Its not alot more than the 325 and a whole lot more lift. What are your opinions on this ? Will a larger skid push alot more snow? Thanks alot

Along with extra power comes extra weight. That will enable you to move more snow, dirt, whatever. Are you going to use a bucket or blade to move snow?

Im actually going to keep my 317 and get a S300 and put a blizzard 8611 on it to remove snow. This should do it!

Yeah...and then some!
A friend of mine has the S150 Bobcat and loves it. It has a 46hp engine and he uses a Harley rake for creating seed beds and renovations. Very nice attachment.
S300 must be in that 80+ hp range with turbo?
