re: gotta buy a used skid steer bobcat what do i need to look for.

Equipment rental employees are sometimes grouped in with car salesmen. The difference is usually there are a lot of players in town on the equipment side. Most places offer the same exact units (unless your cat rental). We try to differentiate by establishing trust,dependability, and service. Also, most people who rent own businesses. If you own a construction business, 9 times out 10, you own or rent multiple units. Bad business to shaft someone on a one time deal when you likely would have a chance to establish a long term relationship and do business for a long period of time.
Martini- I agree with you. If your business depends on your equipment to run satisfactorily, it's smart to purchase from someone that you know will be Johnny on the spot for a repair or replacement
