Going on three good years with this little gem, and I've finished most of the big projects. A smaller machine would now be much more useful for loader work in tight areas (all those new plantings are growing!) and clearing snow from paths where even a SCUT is too big to maneuver. There aren't a lot of options for a diesel machine that will take a snowblower and loader under four feet wide. I'm planning to look at Bobcat S70 skid loader or MT-52 mini-track, though both may be out of price range in new or clean used condition. Haven't seen a mini-skid with a narrow blower, though there must be something available.
Question is, what's my 1026R worth these days, with the 1025R around? 2011 version with original-style loader stand, 49" loader, ballast box, 47" snowblower; under 80 hours, always garaged. Not a lot of them for sale around here on Craig's List or the heavy-equipment sites, especially set up like this w/o mower.
Any suggestions welcome - if I make this switch, ought to do it before winter. Thanks!
