Paul: Got a little story for you on Hough loaders. In the early 1970s a friend of mine named Reg was on the road selling Bobcat skid steer loaders. In a city near by they had just built a new colliseum, with about a 10 acre parking lot. That new facility was the pride and joy of the city engineer. Reg was also a former college friend of the city engineer. Reg drove into town one day with 3/4 pickup, trailer and a new Bobcat demo in tow. He knew where city engineer usually had diner. Joined him, and as he had tried unsucessfully for a couple of years to sell them a Bobcat, he decided to push the issue once more. Engineer said are you going to be in town overnight. This was snow belt country. Reg indicated he would be at a local motel over night. Engineer said,"Good, meet me at the colliseum at 9am with your Bobcat." Reg wondered that evening what his engineer friend had up his sleeve. He had 3 quick tach buckets with him for loader, one of them a 6' snow bucket. In the morning he went to colliseum. Engineer had parking lot devided in two equal halves, and said, "Now if your can clear your half as fast as the city Hough 90 does the other half, we will buy two of your Bobcats." Reg left the city that day with an order for two new Bobcats. I've seen Reg operate a Bobcat, he is one HE## of a good operator.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
