I am looking at spending 20k on a skid steer or a 80-100 hp Tractor.
I'am looking at case or bob cat with 2k + lifting capacity. Ceiling height and width is no issue for me in the barn. The key thing is I want to use the skid steer for all my farm chores and not use the tractor except for brush hogging. (I can borrow my in laws tractor and batwing for brush hogging)
What are your experiences? What would you do different? What am I missing?
Operation: Cow calf.
Land: 80 acers and looking to ad.
Chores: brush hog, feeding round bales, stacking round bales in the barn, clean up this old dairy farm, fence building. I don't bale my own hay and don't want to get into that either.
Current equipment: Allis Chalmers 170 w/frnt loader, bucket, brush hog.
