Great Forum!
I may not be your usual type poster here but really think this is the place to hopefully get some answers. ya'll seem to know alot about different equipemtn for land management. we have a 163 acre developement that we are trying to slowly develop, pretty rough land, half heavily wooded and very dense brush. after much researching, we decided the most versatile if we wanted to own some equipment would be the skid steer.
Found a used ASV 4810, open operator with over 2000 hrs on it but real cheap, $13200 delivered. Any thoughts on this? needs tracks and probably other maintenance things that I don't know about, also has a couple of welds on the bucket and the arms. is this something to even consider. We want to clear some land, push some dirt around etc. figure we need a brush cutter (not the mulcher-sounds too costly to run for our purpose), and a blade for pushing dirt as well (want to shape a couple of ponds).
appreciate any advice, info you all can give. we also know we need a tractor eventually to mow the pasture part. but for now need the versatility of the skid steer to do other things.
thanks
