Skid-steer for 723???

[stormking]

About to order an L3130 with 723 and heavy duty bucket w/tooth bar. 10 ac. horse farm. Plan to do a lot of dirt pushing, back blading and prying and lifting of rocks. No plans now to use other implements (but I did see a power rock rake on bobcat at local rental). Figure I'll take the whole loader off when I pasture mow. Do I need skid-steer? Will it reduce bucket capacity?

The skid steer type of quick attach does extend 4-6" further out from the pivot pin so there is some reduction of weight lift capability. I have not run into it yet so can't quantify it for you. I find the QA very useful for the way I operate.
