Helping my Dad find something to replace his old loader tractor. He lives in the country and gets some pretty bad drifting in the winter. We've pretty much ruled out a skid loader because of his age and how hard they are to climb in and out of I started looking at used skip loaders,(pretty much a loader backhoe without the backhe) online just because they seem to sell pretty reasonable and and look like one hell of a loader tractor compared to a farm loader tractor which brings more money used. Anyone running them?
 
I really like the case 4WD 480F LL! By now it may be hard to find one that is not totally beat though. My friend recently traded his to Michigan Cat on a new mini pay loader. His case had 1500 hrs and had been indoors it's whole life. You might try and see if they still have it available.
 
We're going to look at an early 90's massey 50ex 4x4 tommorow with cab and heat. I wouldn't mind a case because I love the cummins 4bt that they run but finding one with cab and heat is pretty tough most had rops canopy.
