I'm looking at getting a Skid Steer, would prefer Track but could use a wheel- Help me pick heres my info
Uses:
-main use-Loading Firewood into my dump trailer-6-8Ft from ground idk, so lift height is nice
-Small grading, earthwork stuff/landscaping work-(Right now i advertise on craigslist using my dads Bobcat MT55(mini skid steer) and do small jobs like auger holes, moving dirt, small grading. I would prolly do the same maybe just get into slightly bigger jobs but i don't plan on doing this for a living-more of a side job thing
- Eventually i'm buying land and building own house so any light clearing, driveway, etc i'll do myself, also will start a small sheep or beef farm and use skid steer to move hay in winter/summer and general farm use
I'd like to stay $10k or under but if the deal was right could spend a little more. i'd prefer a small to mid size track loader-
ASV rc50- i'm scared i'm going to spend alot to replace under carriage
Bobcat t190- a little on the big side of what i need but already own a MT55 and have seen many older t190s for sale
takeuchi TL26 or 120- I've seen some old 26's for under 10k and i've heard they are bullet proof.
Any other skid steers that are older but reliable and in my price range? Do you think i need a track machine? Loading wood will be in winter and moving hay bales will evenutally be in winter in upstate NY and it gets wet and muddy.
Also if i could get more "earthwork" i would advertise for it with a bigger machine but right now i do everything "under the table" and didn't plan on getting big or getting a DBA right away
thanks for help
