My Skid Pro tiller is probably the best attachment I own. Twice as heavy duty as any I've seen. Great for food plots. Takes humps out of yards. Also an auger is extremely valuable. You can make some nice extra money with these.

I am going to buy a skidsteer, mostly for the forks and work platform. But I could do concrete form prep work or about any task I'd like to replace a hand tool with.

Bmccoyote,
Besides the access from the side what are the other advantages to a 1 arm machine? Is it any more tippy with lifting on the one side? I haven't noticed it tipping to the side arm is one and I've picked up 8 foot tires with it that weigh 2500 to 3000 lbs. It is pretty wide, around 6' or 6'6", and sits low to the ground. The cab and the arm are centered on the tracks, so if you look at just the cab it looks off center. There is also more visibility in the volvo versus the terex. The one thing that could be a disadvantage is the track tension system. The track are kept tight by greasing them, and sometimes I'm not the most diligent about that. It's really not that hard to get the track back on, but it can be a little messy.

We use a giant litter bucket for handling poultry litter. Yeah you can slot push a lot of litter with an 84" or 96" bucket. And they work great for snow removal.

We use a Harley rake. I like the wood processor. We don't have a wood processor. Maybe you could rent your attachments if you have a rental yard just down the road.

Harley rake is what I was going to say. It will do wonders for your yard, and it is usually pretty easy to find work for it too. A track machine is best to run it. Make sure whatever attachments you buy that need hydraulics don’t require more flow than your machine will put out though.
