Its hard to operate the bucket and the steering at one time.

By design. I believe the Toro TX series has one hydraulic pump for drive and attatchement functions.

Im used to a case 450 crawler with a 4 in 1 clam.

This is like comparing a pickup to a full size dump truck. I would like to see you get the Case 450 through a gate and into a limited access area, and then perform 3 or more totally different functions there.

Dont you love rental yards!!

Can't stand them, their prices and attitudes and bad locations. That is why we bought the Vermeer package. Our rentals in the first year we owned that were $ 300. The year before they were $ 13,000 in rentals PLUS travel time to the store.

Payment on the package is $ 10,644 or $ 887 per month. I come out WAY ahead considering we lose the travel time and can resell that time as well.

You have to look for the best overall value and application. If there was one machine that would do it all, some one would have designed and manufactured it by now.
