Tractor or Skidsteer

I own both a skid steer and tractor. Both are in great shape. I would hate to get rid of either one, but if I had to sell one of them, it would have to be, the skid steer.

I'll second that.

The pictures below are me righting my neighbor's skid steer after he rolled it down a hill (thankfully, no injuries). Granted, I could have rolled my tractor almost as easily, but there is no way his skid steer would be pulling my tractor out had that happened.

...and I can't believe no one has mentioned a PTO.
If a diesel engine and a Swiss army knife could make whoopee, their offspring would be the PTO.

OP: my vote is the tractor today, the skid steer tomorrow.

Rambler said it - CC can lead to rusted rims. I miswrote in my original post (had antifreeze on my mind) - I meant to say windshield washer fluid, DOH!
