CUT vs Skid Steer

You step on the bucket and basically fall backwards in the seat. You must be old.

Naw, my aim isn't that great.

I guess it depends on the tractor as well. My cab tractor is a pain to get into compared to a skid steer. But my old 8n is pretty easy to jump on.

My V417 cab is easy to step into:

Unless when compressing a brush pile and I jump out to take a picture:

Does it compress brush better with the wheels 3 feet off the ground vs 3 inches?

No, but you can't see that both wheels are off the ground at 3 inches. :thumbsup:

That isn't the V417 compact telehandler, it is my wife's Toolcat.

For those newbies that haven't seen it, here it is with the 7' brush hog. Don't drool on your keyboard.

O.K., that post with pics just confirms I did a lousy job of life planning! :laughing:

I have been helping a friend clear land with a Gehl 9800 pound skid steer. No surprise it beats the heck out of a tractor for loader work, but a tractor is much better suited for the average landowner. My tractor does the task I do and the majority of the work I have seen done in the seat time thread better than a skid steer.
