I think it really depends on the tractor and the skid steer. I use my tractor around the house yard and driveway alot. A SS would just tear everything up. Second unless you are talking rather large SS there is no way a SS can dig like a tractor as they don't have the traction. At least the ones I've run just spin out. Sure they move loose material like nothing else can but to push a bucket into undisturbed dirt....no way. Then there is the ability to pull trailers and wagons to the field and connect and lift from the rear and oh yeh actually pull things like logs. I'm sure tracks improve all those things but for most all around uses a tractor my not be the best but it is versatile.Before I go much further I will say that both tractors were purchased with loaders and they were both removed as soon as I purchased the skidsteers. A loader on a tractor is a clumsy beast compared to a skidsteer.
