To me the skid steer is just a more purpose built machine. Assuming a track machine, the skid steer is harder on turf than a tractor as well. You're not going to chain drag your gravel driveway, till your garden, or put out a bale of hay with your skid steer in my opinion. Tractors are more versatile than a skid steer. However, I can clear secondary roads with a 75hp tractor, I'd never do that with a skid steer. It moves more snow and fits/turns tighter, but the tractor can do this too. A skid steer in a parking lot with a pusher box works better than a tractor. Skid Steers can be great and they are better at what they do than a tractor and that can include moving snow. My previous tractor was a Ventrac 3000 unfortunately when Toro purchased the company the line was dropped would of purchased again in heartbeat. My advice would be get out to the dealers and test stuff out, I was interested in Yanmar but closest dealer was 300 miles away, dropped corporate office email and they kept emailing me some terrific deals. Others looked at Kubota, New Holland, Kioti. For me being inexperienced the JD was far easier to swap out attachments then many of the other brands. Also added the Heavy-hitch toothbar for earth scraping/digging money well spent. My property was severely overgrown jungle with hurricane damage, the pallet forks work better than the bucket when separating down trees and then pulling vines from branches, swing around and run the brush cutter and move forward etc. Because this is a small tractor 3-point hitch only has very limited clearance. Just rolled 100 hours on the clock, no issues so far other than broke both turn signals on ROPS, they stick out just enough when turning i keep pulling them off on trees and branches. Went to 3 different JD dealers before received a decent (excellent) price. Purchased a new 1025r with 60' mid-mount mower, loader, 48' pallet forks, and RC2048 brush cutter. So far I'm leaning towards new YanMar because of my perceived value of it, lower cost, and warranty? Not sure how good they are? Saw some videos of people complaining of warranty support and parts availability. John Deere tractors are so expensive and so are the accessories. Problem is there's no farming where I live so no matter what I'm gonna have to travel approx 100 miles to get that support, or for that matter buy a new or used tractor. I did learn by watching videos to buy a tractor that has good dealer support in my area. Used tractors are not very common around here.īuy new and pay taxes. Too big a tractor gets expensive.īuy used and worried about taking somebodies problem off their hands and spending more to get it fixed. Worried about buying too small a one with low clearance to the ground and then struggling to move snow. The problem is I don't know crap about them. I finally can afford a tractor now, new or used. I might even take on a few smaller jobs using the tractor eventually. Sometimes I would like to move heavy stuff around - getting old and putting stuff in the back of the truck is harder.

Living out of town on 4 acres I got snowed in this year when it fell about 2ft and a few times in years past so I'll use it for this when it snows more than 5' or so.Īlso have a dirt road/s to start maintaining.īeen leaving the property unmowed because I don't own a riding mower but would like to do it once or twice a year.
