That guy sucks at operating and this isn't a fair testament against skid steers. He'd have probably bent loader cylinders had he had a tractor.

Agree! He wasn't smooth at all.

Obviously a rental. No one that owned one would treat it in that manner. Why rental machines are in such bad shape.

I'm impressed with those forks!

Sliding the forks together a bit would have helped .

BINGO! We have a winner! I ALWAYS slide my forks together when dealing with rocks, in fact I can slide them together, shove them into the ground GRAPPLE the rock, and pull it right out of the ground!

You just can't beat the versatility of pallet forks with a matching grapple!

The skid steer I had, would NEVER have the traction to do that and would have a huge spot in my hay field tore up "trying" to get it done!

Hope it was rental and the operator got charge extra.
