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.
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.
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)

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.
Congratulations on 1 Thousand Subscribers! Amazing. Good video as well.
Thanks Ross!!
Not to forget the skid steer is 3 times the price than this tractor
