    Want to buy a skid steer for snow removal, pros and cons

    Ok, so I bought a bobcat 843 2 days ago, it's a very tight machine, sounds good, 6500 hours on it. We moved a bunch of snow piles around and it did great... up until now, the main arm wont go up.

    Skeleton bucket is taking shape (pics)

    Looks nice, are you going to use it like that or make it water tight? I assume if you used it like that it would be so you could catch rocks and clumps but not sand?
