I am currently in the process of trying to decide which skid steer to buy. I have run one for a short period of time just loading trucks. I have so many questions, and hopefully there are some people on here that have some usefull information. I am after a skid steer that will be used for multi purpose work. I intend on using it for construction purposes, so it will have to be able to load a dump truck. I am also planing on buying a mulching head, and stump grinder attachment for it, so will need to have enough flow, and horsepower to run attachments. I am not sure wether I should go for tyres, or tracks. I know that tracks will give me a more stable platform for loading, but I am worried about them when clearing brush. I like the look of the usuals, caterpillar, and bobact for there range of models, and there ease of attachment applications. I am hearing alot of good things about case, and have noticed that mustang seem to make some pretty heavy lifting tough machines. There is just so many brands out there that I don't know at this point. The machine that I used was a cat, I don't remember the model, but it worked well for what I was doing with it. I am open to brand changing, and probally will have to try all the different brands out, I just thought that some people out there could give me some of their advice, and experiences both good and bad. Thanks for any information that you can give me. The clueless skid steer buyer
