I totally newb'd that up, & confused "skid steer" for a attachment connection option, bolt vs. Quick attach.
One would think after several minutes of tractor research I would have had that down by now.
With 5 acres to bush hog quarterly I definitely need a tractor.
I'd love a skid steer like a bobcat, but in my particular situation that'd be more of a rental.
Or if I was rich, but then I'd buy a bulldozer & take it to Granby Colorado for upgrades.
We had a Kubota at 1 base I worked. We only used it to plow the ramp and as a tug for the helicopter and fixed wing but it was pretty nice and very reliable. I would have gladly taken it home.
I love tractors and skidsteers and excavators
Not familiar with the quality or details of buying new the last 10 years, I only drive them a few times per year when I rent. I used to operate them every day all day when I worked for a Co op that owned them so I can really only speak to those specific models and manufacturers.
A strong PTO is amazing, have done so many amazing things with them.
Had a large PTO water pump once that could empty or fill these holding ponds and lakes we were building with ease. I also rigged it to run 400-500 sprinklers at once lol, we were rehabbing a desolate wetland...Ran that operation of of a really old Kubota which was a great rig.

Dig a crawfish pond.
Grow rice, raise fish to shit and grow rice, then bring in the crawdads seasonally and then trap them. rinse repeat?
The small tractor backhoes are very limited if you have used a medium sized or Mini Excavator. Different tools for different jobs.
