One of your listed intended uses is "Move Pallets Of Stone". No compact or sub-compact I know of will move a pallet of stone. A pallet of stone is heavy, very heavy. Another thing to consider when looking is can you buy "Pallet Forks" for the tractor you are looking at and does it have "Quick Attach" features for the bucket and pallet forks.
I had not given enough thought to the weight of stones. That is a good one to consider for sizing. As far as pallet forks, I originally thought of the ones that attach to the front of the bucket but now realize that will just further reduce the load capacity. They really need to be in place of the bucket, not attached to the bucket. Quick Attach may very well be in order. Thanks for the great info!
