Any good skid steer forums around?

[Ultradog MN]

I kinda, sorta think I need a skid steer up at the property sometimes and spent some time this afternoon looking around for a forum where a guy could do some reading about them. Compare brands, determine what size I need, HP, tracked or wheeled, etc, etc.
I didn't find any site with near the traffic this place has. In fact I didnt find a whole lot.
Does anybody know of a site like that?

Construction equipment forum? I have been reading about excavators.
We have in our family....
Father in laws NH 375. 1978? Bought new to scrape dairy concrete lots. Has a Wisconsin gas motor, hydrostatic. Does well in the yard small things, dip out ditches.
Bailey my 21 yr old has a NH 175 LS. Straight arm boom, not the later curved top boom.
Bucket, pallet forks, post grabber, Montana post pounder. No grapple yet. Has aux hydraulic.
Bother in law has similar NH 160.
And older NH 675? He is going to sell .
Neighbor has NH 325 curved boom. Lots of electrical on it, bought it new.
Other neighbor bought Kubota SV75? Big track machine, hydraulic quick connect. Danuser tree grabber digger, grapple and bucket. It went flooded places that the NH 175 wheels were spinning around.
Depends on what you want to do. Tracks are awesome, expensive, hard to clean it up that night.
Go with your best closest dealer brand!
Hope my stories help.
GG Wes message for more info.

If you let us know your expected use, we might be able to help you out better. I expect this group has a lot of skid steer experience. GG has gave some good advice. As far as brand goes, most work well, all will break down. So I think, as with any equipment, buy the brand that has the best and closest parts and service.

One of my brothers has a couple of Cats on tracks. I think the models are 279 and 289. He seems to have good luck with them.
