I've got to agree with Moss on this. My Bobcat 753 would barely be able to pick the load much less operate in soft soil. And visibility of fork tips was better, but not great at certain angles. Not only that, that thing would tip over in a strong breeze or when rolling over a pebble. So a good capable skid would need to be a track machine and a good size one. Not the smallest models but a mid frame unit. Which on tracks will be a 7000lb skidsteer. All that = $$$$$.
I feel that the original poster would really be best served by renting each of the suggested machines: SS, Track Loader, Telehandler, TLB (tractor-loader-backhoe) and wheel loader. Find what does the jobs he wants best and with the most ease.
BTW - love that JCB!
