Okay, this is kind of a continuation of the "How much $ for a Thumb" thread. I'm looking at a Cat 225
http://ift.tt/1Ra1wHU
and 215D
LC http://ift.tt/1Ra1wHW
at auction this Thursday. Both already have thumbs so that's good. Wondering which would be better for working on steep (15-30 percent) slopes. My instincts tell me a LC would be more stable, but would love to hear some opinions from people who actually know about this. I don't feel I need a machine over 40,000 lbs. so am also considering this

Obviously three very different machines. I like the 215 but the hours (14,500) scare me, although the machine looks good in pictures, other than the boom cylinders. The Hyundai is really the size I want and it's got relatively low hours, but it's a Hyundai. Anyway, I hope some of you more knowledgable than myself will have some educated opinions. This is for ranch work, not production. I don't really care how fast a machine does a job, I just want it to do it and keep on doing it. Thanks to all who responded in my previous thread and anyone who can offer insights here.

225 or 215LC for steep slopes
