OK... let me give you an example of how I'd use the thing.
Last week I parked the work van in the yard next to the pickup and overnight it rained hard, which took the frost out'a the ground where it was parked. I get in it that morning and moved maybe 6-inches those worthless radial tires msp_sneaky spin-out and sink. Finally ended up hooking the pickup, with bias ply tires msp_sneaky, to it and pulled it out. That left two trenches about a foot deep and 20-feet long in the yard.
Well, it's finally dried up enough to fix it... so tonight I hooked the little utility trailer to the little tractor and drive out back to the field... where I manually shovel dirt into the trailer. Then I pull the trailer to the trenches and manually shovel the dirt into the trenches... and then I make another trip... and another... and another. I'm thinkin' the whole time... Damn, sure would be nice to have a little, light duty skid loader for this job. Then I grab the rake and start moving the dirt around, trying to spread it out, and I'm thinkin' the whole time... Damn, sure would be nice to have a little, light duty skid loader for this job.

First of all you live in NE IOWA... PRIME FARM COUNTRY. Everyone has a skidloader. We have auctions every other month in Waukon held by Sweeny Auction Service. They just had one today. There was a 35hp Gehl that sold for 3500 last auction.'
THis would be your best bet to get a good used skidloader.
