Nice! I like the tracked skid steers. We have a CAT here, very easy on the ground.

Yeah the Caterpillar's are a little more responsive on the Joystick controls but the B-cat seems to have the strength factor that I was looking for...

Looks good.

As you can see in the photo it is overloaded but it does great!

That's a nice trailer. How heavy is the trailer empty? What engine is in the truck?

Back in my landscaping days in high school/college, we bought a 1 ton Duramax the first year they came out (was it '00 or '01...can't remember). Anyway, I would pull 2 of our Bobcats on a trailer like yours and the truck didn't even know they were back there.

I think the trailer weighs about 2800-3200 empty. The truck has the 6.5TD. I think it is rated for 9000lbs towing... :lol:

What just paint does it looks good. Check oil pan bolts they might be loose maybe replace PVC valve it might be not working correct that why the motor is leaking oil.

It does most of its leaking while sitting. But I will look into the pcv valve.

Does the first pic have a sign on the door?

Yeah, It was a Magnet sign that we had made for the business. Those things were a PITA when dirt got behind them.

Worthless..

I still have 1 good one sticking to me deep freezer in the garage.
