All great points, If i buy a tracked skid steer is still up in the air a tire ss would more than likely do fine for the coming season & for price reasons. I'm hoping to double last years sales I started late in the season last year and spur of the moment sort of thing.
The way I see it is that I am a one man crew, I need to hire employees in order to move quicker or use the help of machinery. To be frank at this point I would rather pay $20k toward a machine then a couple of lazy kids & the gov (in most cases). Also if i was $5k a year in rental I would rather put that toward something that I own and now have to use when I need it.
Maybe I'm being a little quick to jump the gun on buying one, but I hate renting. I need one for 10 mins here an hour there and so on. Having a machine will hopefully open more doors for larger or more projects as well as showing folks that I mean business
Just my 2 cents, its great to have this board that allows us to hear everyones Opinion and help one another. I'm not so sure I will spend the extra dough on a track machine now after this, but a ss is still in my future
