I have previously posted a general question about which skid steer to purchase. I am leaning towards cat due to their prominance, large model range. I am after something that can run a brushcutter, and other attachments. I know that I need a machine that has high horse power to be able to run the high flow hydraulics. I am torn between buying tracks, or tyres, and to the model. I intend as I said to run it with a brush cutter, but also intend on being able to load a dump truck with it for construction purposes. I am leaning towards buying a bigger machine like a 287c, or 267 with tracks. Does anyone run a 272c, 262c, or a 228, and if so what are they like in terms of being able to handle the heavy stuff. These types of models also appeal to me, just because of their manourvibility, and speed. I could also put tracks over the top, which is another option that I was thinking about. Any information that you could all give me would be great.</p></blockquote><p></p>
