Complete noobie to skidsteers, so I have no bias towards any manufacturer and absolutely no experience driving/working any of them, so ease of use is a must. I'm in Alaska which hugely limits the number of choices I have ( or else my budget gets spent on shipping rather than the machine). I'm looking for something to use to primarily snow blow my dog yard perimeter fence, an acre area in front of our shop and a half mile of driveway. Summertime use will be dirt/sand moving and putting in new trails through our land. The land is flat, dry and heavily treed with black spruce. So, that's the rough outline. Ive got around 20K to spend. I've found a 2000 Bobcat 773 with 1200 hours with an Erskine snowblower or a Cat 226B for about the same money, but I'd still need to buy a snowblower for it. Do you guys have any opinions or suggestions? Thanks P.</p></blockquote><p></p>
