    Who builds the best Skid Steer and Why

    It's all about RESALE. I bought a 287B, ran the paint off of it, never spent a dime on repairs and sold it 10 year later for 5K less than I paid for it. Please show me another skid steer that you can run hard for 10 years and only cost you the equivalent of $500.00 a year.

    Roger that. You wanna stay out of the flames, but the flames ALWAYS have another idea, and somehow want to come to you, and no way can a dozer out run the flames.

    Need guts to drive one. Think of the balls you need to drive that thing into a wall of fire. These guys have nerves of steel. I always wondered what they would do in a flash over.
