A loader tractors and a telhandler isn’t even close to the same thing. I hate a wheeled skid steer. Getting stuck is about all they’re good for. A tracked skid steer or CTL is an amazing machine. The biggest downside of the CTL is they’re hard on the ground. Besides that they’ll beat a loader tractor in every way.
SS/CTL suck at pulling a plow or disc

If your mama read this post she would be disappointed in your choice of words.
The OP resides in England, the land of Shakespeare, Winston Churchill and the cradle our language. After reading, OP will likely wonder at the condition of the USA.

That wasn’t the contest. The loader on a CTL will eat a farm tractor loader alive.
contest? A tractor loader can move 2 bales, one front, one (or more, size dependent) on rear. Of course, you could use just a trailer.
