Re: S130 Bobcat
I bought a new S130 and now have 500 hrs. on it. I use it for livestock. Cleaning pens and moving round bales. I put steel tracks on it bought from a small shop in Indiana that cost about $500. Haven't taken a wrench to it yet. Highly recommend it. It is a little hard to start in super cold weather but that's the only negative comment I have.

Re: S130 Bobcat
I have 5 foot material and manure buckets. As wide as the machine is. The round bales are 4 to 5 foot in diameter. Straw bales average 534#. Hay depends on the cutting but usually around 650# for 4 footers. Straw bales are 5 foot in diameter. Bales are 4 foot wide. I have baled some 6 foot hay bales but they are too heavy as they flatten out bad when sitting and they make the bobcat light on the rear end.
