Anyone else debate a skid steer over a tractor. I'm on the fence. I need more lift, so I have been looking at a bigger new tractor, and thought I would think outside the box for a while.
The new tractor with backhoe is coming in at around 40K with cab and air, a good size Cat track skid steer is about 50K with cab air etc.
With the tractor, 3PH, comfort etc.
Skid steer, more lift, WAY more attachments run off the hydraulics, tracks, better traction mud and sand, etc. Replacing tracks run about 8k after 2k hours.
I'm not sold 100% on either one as of today.
10k is still 10k?
