Kelly: Skid steer loaders will run circles around most farm tractors, even the largest of them. The best one I ever had however was a John Deere 540A forestry skidder, equiped with 8 speed power shift and an 11' blade, 3' high. That machine would take 6' snow drifts and pack the pile so hard it would climb a pile like you have and push the excess over the top. In my life time on the farm I plowed snow with several machines and will rate them best to poorest Deere 540A in 1st. Case 1737 Uniloader in 2nd, Farmall 130 in 3rd, Farmall 656 with 2000 loader in 4th, Farmall 560 with same loader in 5th, Farmall 300 with blade in 6th, and Farmall H with loader in 7th. I rate them this way as the Deere is in a league by itself. The skid loader was much the same, I have seen one of these chalange a Cat 950 in a shopping mall parking lot. They devided the lot in half. The skid loader was back on it's trailer when the Cat finished. I placed the 130 in 3rd not because it was the best 2 wheel drive tractor, but rather for the investment and it's size it makes the rest look bad. My 656 was only ahead of the 560 because it had a cab. Plain and simple language, 2 wheel drive farm tractor is the poorest vehicle ever put under a loader. the 4x4 farm tractor is next to it.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
