</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Since you're considering used and new, why not something like a decent used Case 580 or Cat 416/420 with a 4n1 bucket, maybe even an extendahoe, 4wd and a cab /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Would handle everything you've listed plus some. If you're determined to stay within the CUT category I wouldn't rule out a DK series Kioti. )</font>
Primary reason is ... I will wanna unmount the hoe for boxblade work on occasion.
I grew up with an old ('57 vntage?) Balmar TLB still being used to this day to help a friend of the family build his cabin on the Kenai. I expect it could be mine in a year or so if I wanted, but transport from AK isn't feasible (and I already have enough "antiques" around /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif )
Kioti will be getting a looksee too ... a dealer is pretty close and seems like good folks to deal with.
