Someone wanting a tractor to skid logs, dig in the dirt, plow a drive, move pallets, bull a moldboard plow, and considering a BX and seeking advise....yea they are gonna get "you need a bigger tractor" answers.
Axle, you deleted words. Once again you have tried to change the meaning of someone's post. LD1 gave a description of a group of tasks someone wanting a tractor may have in mind. If that group of tasks is to skid logs, dig in the dirt, plow a drive, move pallets AND pull a moldboard plow. A SCUT is not the way to go for this group of tasks. Le me break it down:
Skid logs - if you want to limit yourself to small chunks of wood, then sure, use an SCUT. But if you want to skid logs efficiently, bigger is better. The only limitation to size is the tightness of your logging trail. LD-1's post didn't say "skid small logs" So we should not assume he only meant small logs.
Dig in the dirt - we should not assume LD-1 means nice non-compacted top soil. If you dig in the dirt, you will run into big obstacles, hard packed clay etc.. A bigger machine is more likely to get the job done without calling in an even bigger machine - which often happens even with CUTs and UTs because neither are very big when it come to digging.
Plow a drive - This one could be done buy any tractor as long as you have time on your hands and you clear often enough that it doesn't get too high for your machine. But it was only one task in a description of many given as an example. And if you have a lot of clearing to do, it is not practical with a SCUT due to time considerations.
Move pallets - most people who get pallets delivered are talking about full pallets. Full pallets of most building materials are not liftable with a SCUT without doing some off loading by hand. Who wants to buy a tractor to move pallets and then have to off load by hand?
Pull a mold board plow - SCUT doesn't have the ground clearance or traction/weight to do this well
Axle - Your head seems pre-programed to believe that many people here are trying to put down SCUTs and make them out to be less than they are. Due to this bias, you misunderstand what they say because you are trying to force it to fit your pre-conceived notion about them. You seek to correct before you seek to understand.
On top of this, from your posts it seems that you are very new to tractors. If that is the case, why are you so argumentative when experienced operators share their experience. You seem to value the input of those without experience more than those with experience. This is non-sense.
Consider this a friendly intervention. Just pointing out some observations. I'm hoping you can grow out of this and get to the point that you realize that the folks her have good intent and that if it sounds like someone is putting someone down, you may have misread the post and should seek to understand before twisting their words.
