mini loaders

[Dilz]

The majority of my work right now is as a subby / climber.  A friend showed me his set up of a LWB transit van with a sherpa mini skid steer in the back - he likes it that way as he can take it to every job when subcontracting as you never know exactly what to expect, but it usually gets used and parking in town isnt a hassle as no trailer, and he rarely has to drag brash.  To me, not dragging brash by hand seems like a very good thing, and to be able to do it at any job i turn up to seems also a very good thing.    

 

Was wondering if anyone is using any other types of mini loaders? Are there ones that are both narrow and low impact?  Have thought about the micro arb truck type set ups - though technically not a loader its looks good for tight access - but a machine that can do the lifting is going to be better.  Any thoughts or feedback much appreciated as  I never bought owned a loader before (infact i only own saws and and my van machines wise) but figure its time to start working a bit smarter...
