I am new to the Forum and also new to Skidsteers. I am in the process of searching for a Skidsteer for home use. To say the least it has been a challenge lol. I am not sure what size and model to buy. My current task list consists of removing the top soils from a section of my driveway and replacing with base and 304, building a Buggy washdown area with 1s & 2s, building trails in the Woods for Quads, Driveway maintenance and snow removal, dig a pond (slow I know) etc. I have $7000.00 to spend on a used machine. I see there are a lot of low budget machines avalable. So I want to pull from the vast experience on this Forum to make a good decision. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the site.
A good '7' series sized machine i can't see having a problem doing all of the things you want. With removing snow, i assume just for yourself with a bucket not a blower? a blower as far as i'm aware really does need hi flow to work well, this will limit the range of machines you will want to buy.
Good luck with the hunt.
