[QUOTE="Bute56, post: 40959, member: 5111"] Hello. I am looking into buying a skid steer. Any advice is appreciated. One of my main concerns is the weight of the machine. I have been using an L170 weighing about 5500# and a 16' trailer weighing in the 2000# range. My pickup handles this load pretty well. I could shave a little weight off of this setup with a shorter trailer, maybe a 12 footer. The new holland has done everything I have asked of it so the horsepower (56?) is good. I want something with a cab. Long story short, the l170 is exactly what I need but they seem a little pricey. I can only afford to spend around $15000. What makes, models, years and hours on the clock should I be looking for. I'm in no hurry either so I can stand to wait around on a deal. Thanks alot. [/QUOTE]
