I would tend to differ with you about using a skid steer on a hill.

Usually an empty bucket is sufficient.... but no attachment or just a light attachment like a bale spike may not be enough. They're not the machine for every situation but in some cases are very much a more versatile machine than a tractor. I would be lost without my NH LS170.
