What ever machine you buy, make sure to sit in it with a dirt bucket on it. With the bucket flat on the ground, make sure you can easily see the bucket cutting edge. It allows you to do much more precise work a lot faster. It may not seem like much but it is. With a snow bucket you can't see the edge. On some of the older JD and New Holland as well as others you are almost sitting down inside them. A higher seat is way better. For picking up bales a longer wheel base machine will be more stable. A machine will tip easier the higher it is lifted. I've found out the hard way loading wet clay in a dump truck. Luckily the bucket fell onto the outside of the box and not completely to the ground. It was a little scary but at least I had enough experience to get the bucket dumped. My machine has a seat bar that goes all the way across the front of you. Some machines have two little arms that turn. They're just a gimmick. A good seat belt is a must as well. Get a universal quick attach. Then you can go to Bobcat or anywhere else that rents attachments so you don't have to always buy them. When you get it don't try to go real fast. Going fast and doing a precise job come with experience. A lot of first timers try to show off how fast they can go. A tractor loader is no substitute for a skid steer and vice/versa. While some jobs can be done with both, they are made to do different types of work. Most machines are pretty good. See what dealers are around for parts etc. They can tell you of problem machines as well. Hope this helps. Dave
