I quite agree, people tend to believe these are an expensive toy. Are they ever wrong. I didn't buy a second skid steer and retire 2000 loader off 560 for my health. The 40 hp skid steer would run circles around the 560 and loader. I had some excavating material, was giving away to anyone with something to haul it. Guy came with s/a dump truck, he took 560 I took skid steer. He put 1/4 of load on while I did 3/4. I was running 6 tractors and 200 head of cattle when I bought first skid steer. I once put 700 yards of fill in a cemetary with headstones present. they were filling a hollow where water laid max 1 foot. I did this with skid steer in 6 hours. I left ridges of soil along headstone rows. They used this material later to raise the stones. No headstones were damaged. If you want to use skid steer on soft ground, get a set of tracks for over tires, you won't use them much. The beauty of the skid steer is your loader engine also becomes your counter weight, same as all the big loaders. I call them the power wheel barrow.
