This year is looking like the year that I finally get a tracked skidsteer. I have demo'd the 30 & the 60 at my dealers location (just before winter finally caught up with us in the Heartland). The 30 seemed to be a neat little machine. The 60 was awesome. Smmmmmooooootttttttthhhhhhhh.
Back to reality. A recent year model 30 is probably affordable and the 60 is not. I keep looking at the 50 and wondering if I will be short on versatility if I restrict myself to the smaller machine.
Application: Tree service mostly takedowns and trims. Machine would be utilized to move the large chunks from restricted job sites to the street for loading in dump box equipped 2500HD.
Company motto is tread lightly. Damage to turf is absolutely not acceptable to me or my clientele.I am a one person operation with part time assistance from family member.
I would appreciate feedback form anyone who might have experience with these machines in a tree service or related application.
Thanks!
