T_Bone, FOr once we get to help you. Usually it is the other way around. Used skid steers are like everything else, you get what you pay for. If you can find a well maintained machine it will give you good service. I currently have a 5575 Deere I use in my excavating business. It is a mechanical machine. I bought it with 1500 hrs and so far after 200 hrs it has given me good service. It is the vertical lift and I like that. Also like the New Holland it has a longer wheelbase which makes them more stable. They do however scuff up the dirt more. A skid steer is much handier than either a Hydro - tractor or a telelift as you can turn on a dime and you can get an attachment to do anything. Rent attachments you only need a couple times. I have a set of forks and don't know how I lived without them. If you buy a skid steer you will never sell it. hope this helps Jerry
