For general work, a tractor only exceeds a skid steer if you want a 3 pt. pto mower, a back blade, and maybe want to add some implements to work some ground. All will cost some bucks.
I have a 2606 industrial with a IH 3000 loader and case backhoe. Five speed with a forward and reverse lever. Worked with a couple skid steers cutting and stacking trees and they worked circles around me.
I have an old drag spring tooth that I use the bucket to move to the corral, then tie onto it to drag the corral.
The backhoe is handy but then no pto and 3 pt for mowing and blading. The loader bucket does not work very well blading and leveling a drive or a building pad. Many a building pad have been built with them but not as fast. The speed of the skid steer is a bigger advantage even with with smaller bucket.
The steering is slow and hard and requires a big turning radius on my 2606. The old hydraulics are slow and you don't have the touch control of newer equipment. The forward/reverser is slow after years of use cause you have to wait a little to avoid gear grind.
Your question is conceptual. What you have to do is go out and find one that will work for you after trying it out. I bought the 2606 to do some of the same things you want to do.
