I have a baby 450 Bobcat. Love that thing, but use it for what it was intended. Great for loading out manure, and stacking my small round bales. Spotting material etc. Goes in tight corners easier than a tractor.
As I told a buddy of mine considering one. Just so you understand the term "skidsteer". They do scuff things up if you turn abruptly. Not a problem where I use mine, but he was thinking of spotting mulch around trees on his lawn, and general yard work. Yup, it can be done if you're careful, but he is meticulous about his yard. So in my mind, not the tool for him...
