As the years go on, my find my skid really only works a few hours a week. The thing is, I just can't justify bringing it to the job. I can put the dingo in my enclosed trailer with all my tools, hook it up to the dump, and go. Sure, it would be nice to move a pallet of brick around on some of the jobs, but really, the dingo handles most of the work, and much cleaner. You don't rut the lawn all up or worry about scratching up the drive.
If you consider the time spent loading, transporting, unloading, then doing it all over again for the skid, it really makes it difficult to justify bringing it to the job. If you have to do 15 yards of topsoil, stone, etc....the dingo will do it, and often, do it with more precision and neater. Also, for smaller jobs, it kind of keeps pace with the flow of materials.
If we were doing 60k plus jobs all the time, I would probably be more a skid fan. But, when a majority of the work I do is under 20k, the job size fits the dingo very nicely.
My biggest complaint is that more and more manufactures are not banding their pavers anymore. As long as they are banded, you can move them very quickly with the dingo.
