They are workhorses, I prefer tracks to wheels on a skidsteer but both suffer the same problem, when a vehicle skids through a corner it cuts more than one that turns through the corner. I've had a wheeled Gehl here for the past several weeks and they are great for moving shavings and dust, lumber, rocks etc but they do have a heavier footprint than the tractor. We moved it back to my friend's garage and rebuilt a lift cylinder this afternoon, not a bad job. They all seem to have their own ideas about how to do the controls. This one has the steering on the left joystick and the bucket on the right. It is the only one I've been on where you could drink and drive. For me the shuttle between grabbing a scoop and dropping it in the garden is a pretty long run, having one arm free seemed less tiring than the bobcat type where both sticks control the drive. Having tracks to venture into the garden would be nice, I dump just inside the gate and back out. The soil is too soft and the compaction from a wheeled skidsteer is huge.
