I'm looking to increase efficiency. I'm interested in purchasing some type of equipment to support our TLB. 90% of our work is landscape installations on existing turf (needs to be turf friendly). I see this machine working in plant beds assisting with plant removal, bed prep and planting. I also see this machine moving plants from truck to site on a plant pallet and moving soil/mulch within the plant beds. I can see a real use for augers as well as a bucket and pallet forks. Lifting capacity isn't that much of a concern because of the TLB. Another need is for a dozer/snow plow for snow removal on a gravel driveway. At some point I can see adding other attachments like a trencher, landscape rake and tiller. Questions: 1. Does anyone have experience plowing snow with mini skidsteers, possibly with metal tracks. Are these machines too small for a use like this? 2. Does anyone have experience with the ASV 30 track skid steer with the new 'turf friendly' green tracks? Do these new tracks still provide enough traction in soil and snow? How turf friendly are they? I'm looking for a turf friendly machine that is powerful enough to be useful but small enough to work within planting beds. Thank you for your comments.
