I found a bobcat in San Quintin! And a big frontend loader. When I drive around I always see huge tractors down there so I stopped and asked.
The owner is Santurino. It was fun trying to find the owner but I finally tracked his wife down and got a card.
I'll make an appointment with him next time.
His Bobcat is an 863 a big one. I still want my own tracktor.

A bobcat isn't a tractor, it's a high-powered golf cart.

I need to review the Excavator import story again and start thinking of doing it the right way.

Fishbuck at border: It's a golf cart.
Mex Border Guard: It looks like a tractor. Why does it have a bucket?
Fishbuck: That's where I carry my clubs.

One of the lot owners here at the ranch is building his house with a Bobcat that he brought down. It's duty-free (+IVA), bring it through a good
customs agent.
If its imported, you can (legally) sell it when you no longer need it.
re shattering rocks: back in another life in Africa, the workers also used to build fires on the huge granite boulders outside Cape Town. As a child,
I remember in one crew there were two brothers who had both lost one eye when pouring cold water on the red-hot rock.
¡Cuidadoso!

I had a friend at El Sargento who brought down a bobcat, imported it legally and after Hurricane John he was helping his next door neighbor move some
trash and they came by and tried to impound his unit and were going to give him a fine, but the neighbor was a Mexican and he raised a lot of hell and
just happened to be politically connected so they dropped everything. So be careful.

I was wondering the same thing because we have a John Deere 4100 tractor with a loader bucket and a box blade on the back.
I'd love to bring it down, but was wondering why I'd need to claim it if I was just doing maintenace on my own property?

"If its imported, you can (legally) sell it when you no longer need it."
there's actually 2 import systems
a "frontizera" (sp) and a "nationalization"
you can ONLY sell it legally if you use the "nationalization" import which is more expensive
we imported our compact tractor that has a loader and a scraper and use it all the time
eamn...you'll NEVER get across the border with out the import paperwork
once imported you can take it back and forth...no problem
you just need to make sure you have a correct "working" FM2-3 and ONLY work on your own place

Thanks Bob & Susan, I'll keep that in mind and make sure we go through the proper paperwork if we do bring ours down.
Good info to know

You can lease a hoe at the Penthouse in Loreto---and don't need to import anything.
