Hmm. Mine sure couldn't.
On the other hand, my tractor seems to be able to do anything the skid steer can. Except to run the snow blower.
Skidder or Tractor? If you could only have one.

My Toolcat is a great compromise between a SS and tractor.
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.

And those front mounted rotary cutters on skid steers are scary for operators.Anyone got a photo of a skid steer being used for row crop cultivation? Maybe AI?

My cutter throws debris out the rear when I cut brush. I don’t want that thing in front of me.
