I had a skid loader and a mini-x. They both had their advantages.
The mini-x was used for digging trenches for retaining walls, excavating for patios and walkways and final grading. If I had to have one or the other.......I take the mini-x.
With the blade you can excavate the sod off and even the soil. With the bucket you could dig down to 10 1/2 feet. With the rubber tracks no turf damage and they are light weight compared to most average size skid loaders.
We would use the mini-x to load the wheelbarrows with soil, stone or whatever. It really sped up the process.
If you currently have a skid loader and are intent on making a huge capitol investment, then look into a mini-x.
A couple of buying tips:
Dual controls
Diesel
Rubber tracks
Plumbed boom
Quick coupler ( if you have multiple attachments or buckets)
Aux. hydraulics
Peace,
Rex
