In the market for a CTL and think I have it narrowed down to these, but I could use some input
Machine will be for my personal use around a small horse farm. Snow removal, loading manure, scraping paddocks, grading, screening sand, spreading RCA, unloading pallets of grain/bedding/supplies, etc. Must have heat/ac, hydraulic quick coupler, true polit control(I want the loader/bucket control to be the same as my tractor). Need to maneuver in and out of 8' openings. I already have a 10k equipment trailer, and do not want to buy a new one to move the machine, but I want to stay legal and not get into CDL territory. I am not a fan of swing out doors. Based on the hours I put on my tractor, the machine will get less than 200 hours per year.
SVL65 and TL8 have similar performace specs, but the Tak seems like more of a robust machine. Then the SVL75 seems a little more so than the Tak.
With SVL75's 9k weight, would I be able to balance enough weight on the tongue to get away with my 10k trailer? Tak salesman thinks the TL8's 8600lb wight wont be a problem.
Price and value are a large consideration for me since this purchase will be more about comfort and convenience than necessity.
