[QUOTE="Thomas173, post: 126788, member: 4388"] I've had a midsized wheeled skid steer for years and it has worked well for my needs (bucket, toothed bucket, snow bucket, forks). [B]Now I want something for trail work. [/B] It needs to pass through approx an 42" opening. The trail is about 12 km/8 miles long so I want a machine that has some speed, that travels at 6 kph or 4 mph. The trail has some side slope so side slope ability is needed as it will be working along the trail edge. The wider the mower/rotary cutter/etc. the better. I can lift the mower to pass through the narrow 42" openings. Ideally, something like a 5'-ish/60"-ish mower would mean two passes to cut, going there and coming back. A 40"-ish mower would require an extra pass and therefore take twice as long to cut. Also, if it is functional to use the narrow machine in winter for clearing my driveway (with a snowblower and/or snow bucket) then I would sell my older wheeled skid steer. Please let me know your machine suggestions. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
