Turkey house CAT clean out special. They whack the cabs to be shorter to fit in the buildings, but reattach the top for I imagine the electrical/ keypad.
Either way, they come up for sale with a lot of hours and some hard use.

Nope. Nope, Nope. Discing in composted turkey liter was bad enough.

A know a guy who used to raise chickens. When they came to get them to load onto trucks they used a chopped skid steer. The problem was they did the worst possible hack job you could imagine to lower the cab. Instead of cutting the bottom off the cab and just lowering the roof with all the electrics, they chopped the top off and made an absolute nightmare of the wiring. The shop that sold the skid steer also charged them a fortune to put higher speed drive motors in it. That was done OK but overall the machine was the worst butcher job you could ever imagine times 10! I can't see anybody wanting to ever work on it. Loose wires all over the place and none of them in a loom or even taped together. It was a perfect recipe for an electrical fire.

Once ROPS was reimagined surprised can still be allowed usage, any other industry would be handed their own walking papers.

They make low profile fork lifts but I'd imagine they're really expensive and probably a lot heavier than skid steers requiring bigger trailers. I don't know what requirements a chopped skid steer would have to meet. I'd imagine there'd be a big problem if an accident were to happen and the operator was injured.

That skid is the perfect representation of farmer work if ever there was one, I'm sure whatever isn't held together with 6010 is held on with bailing string and some tie wire lol

That's for sure! And heaven forbid if a stick on compliance tag fell off after several years! And don't let someone tack on a bracket to the ROPS for the mandatory fire extinguisher!

Fortunately, I'm not their target market for a employee. If you look where that seat is compared to the new top of the cage, almost anyone's head would stick out, if they are over 5' tall. I'd probably have shoulders over the top.

Oh my you were at Three Finger Jacks-a legendary machine shop. Jack is blind in one eye and
after his last accident machining he's lucky to have three fingers left to wipe with.

Maybe they hire retired jockeys or short people to run it?
