I'm building a house on an acre...a wild acre with trees, stumps, rocks, and plenty of dirt to move around. A loader would be a huge asset around the place but also during construction with lifting beams, posts, etc.
That said, there's a chance I'd sell after I got my house built and property to my liking. So, resale value might be something of consideration.
Decent looking skid steers seem out of my price range. I've been seeing a lot of really clean looking rebuilt 16 - 40 HP Mitsubishis and Yanmars in the $7500-$12,000 range though...and they look pretty good.
Are these things robust and reliable? Are parts easy to get? Difficult to find people to work on them?
Thanks!
