Think about what your needs are. I made a list of one time jobs, and jobs that need doing regularly. Also the cost of the attachments needed and cost of rental or hiring a job out. It made my decision easy.
For people who like to own toys, that can be a frustrating approach. If money is more important than toys to play with, it is eye opening.
That is probably a good approach. So, ditch digging? Once? Foundation? Once?
On the other hand, if one has a project that would take several months of occasional use, perhaps it would be a benefit to purchase the tool, then sell it when one is done with the job.
A good skid steer can mount a variety of attachments from buckets to forks to a back hoe to trenchers.
