[QUOTE="Thomas173, post: 131751, member: 4388"] Update time. I've investigated all the suggestions and most seriously looked at what I considered the best two options, a narrow skid steer (there is only one, the Bobcat S70) or a stand-on compact mini loader/tracked machine (several similar options), but in the end I decided against both of them out mostly for the aforementioned reasons that you guys pointed out. The good that came of it was that I like the stand-on concept. Thus I have now decided that the best machine for my trail maintenance is a stand-on mower. As [USER=13825]@mrbb[/USER] wrote, "a stand on mower like a bobcat Zr4000 they have lower center of gravity, and can be driven normally faster than traditional designed mowers...," to which I will add, are narrow enough to pass through the trail entrances. A narrow mower means more passes to mow the trail width but a stand-on mower is fast, stable and manoeuvrable, which is more than I can say about my current setup. I have explored the stand-on mower line up and there are quick a few options. Thanks again for all your suggestions. [/QUOTE]
