Right, which are we talking about? A Skidder or a Skidsteer? They are two vary different machines.
I think he was trying to be cute with the terminology. :cool:

I have a Cat track machine and a L3700SU Kubota.
The skidsteer is 10x the machine over the tractor.
It’s faster, stronger, and just far more capable with the front bucket. However.. it’s brutal on the lawn.
There are chores I do with the skid that the tractor just would struggle to do. And chores I do with the tractor that the skid would just make more of a mess than I would want to deal with. .But if I had to pick just 1.. it would be the skidsteer. .. it can do it all if need be.

Alright, with a small tractor and a more capable skid steer that makes sense.

In my case, the M6040 can lift much more than the NH L218 can. It's not 10 times the machine, but maybe about twice.

Anyone got a photo of a skid steer being used for row crop cultivation? Maybe AI?

:D

And those front mounted rotary cutters on skid steers are scary for operators.
