Thank. Totally agree with all comments and as I feared. Compact loader is clearly the one for the job. I can stretch my budget for a 4wd loader tractor and it is definitely something I'm considering. It would need to be half descent and road legal be more versatile and capable earnings it's keep on other jobs. However 10k doesn't get you much and what I keep seeing is big old girls that are far from agile around a cramped farm yard. 😁

Hi all. Needing some advice. For something compact in and around my yard and I keep coming back to the idea of a skid steer. Not the mini kind but a 2t + Case, New holland etc. I don't have the funds for a compact loader, Avant type which would be my first choice. Have 5 -8k budget. Would be using to move cord, load log deck, load dry logs for delivery and some light forestry/estate work. What are peoples views on them that have first hand experience? What machine are you using and what tasks? What should I be looking for in used vehicle? Ideally it's would be used on the estate a little too to help pay its way. I would probably pick up some steel OTT tracks for that. Thanks.
