How you like the new holland skid loader, we bought a bobcat because a lot of the new Hollands around here bend the booms, we ran one and liked it, but just don't like seeing them at the new holland dealer frequently with bent booms, the newer style the really beefed up. Maybe you gotta be really hard on them to bend them.

not to hijack the thread, but we have a john deere which I believe is the same as the newholland. Ours isn't bent and I bet no one could be harder on it than we are.

We haven't had it long enought yet, got it last August,

I planted some arborvitae today as well. A couple of them had the tops browning a bit - I hope they all survive.

Not saying New hollands are the best or anything but I have had a couple that I put though hell. I have managed to bend or tweak about every attachment I own but the booms are not bent or sprung.

Looks great, we've finally finished with the snow I think and have started mowing last week and planting like you. Good to be out in the spring, weather yesterday was perfect. Today? Stinks. Have you used a dingo before or similar machine out there for tasks like that?

The boy bought a 185 NH a few years ago. Use it a lot harder then I ever thought we would. One thing we need is a post hole digger.

Cedars grow wild down here. I dug and planted 160 to isolate my house from noise, dust, and the N wind. Do a superb job. Ok so I have allergies as a result. Pills fix that. I'll keep the trees.

Only enemy is bag worms delivered by the butterflies migrating. A dose of Bayer insect killer solves that problem.

Never used a toro dingo, have a friend that has one, seems to work good, especially on existing turf, but for roughy in like today the skidsteere works fine.

If those are arborvite deer chomp them alot. I have three that are munched as far as they can reach and the tops look like yours now the bottoms are gone. I just put Irish Spring soap in some shrubs today. If they are cedar the deer don't eat them but the bucks will rub the lower bark .

JayinNY · Apr 23, 2013

Yes deer do eat them, we sell a burlap wrap job in the fall.

I guess thats the mistake I made of never wrapping them. Someone thought I trimmed them the way they are on purpose. Looks like upside down ice cream cones on stalks.

The deere and new holland are not the same, the case and the new holland are now the same, the new series. I have pushed snow with our bobcat in the high side 13mph and have hit cement etc. and have been stopped dead and thought I'd of been thrown threw the door but nothing has bent. I like the bobcat, I'd take a new holland second. Like the job how the offer one boom, I think that's neat as well.

Deere used to put their name on the New Hollands up until around 10 years ago, maybe less. New Hollands have always been my preferred skid steer and I've ran most of them.
