Just wanted to thank everyone for 1k subscribers! We really appreciate the support on all the videos.

Very well done. Tons of info in a short time without being rushed. Perfect.

This is a really good explanation of both machines. For me the skid steer is the best choice.

Great video, but I have driven and used both on my farm. The skid steer is what I have chosen to use. Yes, the attachments may cost more, but you can rent them almost everywhere, and the tractor does not have the selection. I have open fields and woods that need to be brushed out. The skid loader is just a more versatile piece of equipment for a bush cutter. If you have a big tractor, the you have a more difficult time seeing in front of your bucket. On the perfect farm, you will have both.

Congratulations on 1 Thousand Subscribers! Amazing. Good video as well.

Thanks Ross!!

Fellow 613er here! Thanks for the video!

You should always get a skid steer to use buckets and attachments. Tractors are for pulling implements through a field. If you're making money on it the skid steer will be way faster. If you need to drag a multitude of implements through a field then the tractor makes sense. If you're a broke homeowner you'll buy whatever you can find used and only a little broken on the internet marketplace of your choosing. Then we get into mini-excavators. They dig unlike what homeowners try to do with the tractor, the only thing they suck at is moving loose material around. But they are way cheaper than a skiddy.

Not to forget the skid steer is 3 times the price than this tractor

What's the cost of each machine as they appear in the video?

30k vs 60k roughly. A good used track'd skid steer can be upwards of 75k for a larger one, while a smaller wheeled unit can be 40k new. I know my cat skid steer payed for itself quickly even though it was 60k used with 1500 hours, while my mini-ex was only 40k and payed for itself faster in my profession (electrician, so all underground electrical. Lots of ditches and backfill)
