I was directed here from another forum. Looks like great info and resources here! I think I need a skidsteer. Please help me figure out what to get! Homeowner use only - 5 acres, Half of it is sloped and levels off... with forest (big fir trees), bushes and blackberries. The slope is pretty aggressive, but there are two "paths" to navigate. Our septic drain field is at the bottom of the slope. Uses: landscaping, moving downed trees, mowing down blackberries and bushes, Using as a loader for Large amount of slab oak stored inside a shop. 14' long 24" wide, 2.25" thick. Maybe pushing snow 2-3 times a year. I've been looking at tracked machines due to the slope on my property. BUT, I wonder if I could get away with tracks over wheels? I'd prefer a smaller machine so I can use it inside my shop - but I think wider tracks would help greatly with the slope on the property. I recently used a T870 to unload all the oak... it's big. Too big, but I loved the controls. What should I be looking at USED? Budget is flexible, but I'd like to spend less than 20k which is a stretch from what I'm seeing in the PNW
