Skid steers are designed and built to be a Swiss Army knife on a construction site. Not a land clearing or dirt moving machine. I’m sure you like your skid steer but you have no idea what you’re talking about comparing it to a dozer

Meh. You just don't know how to run a skid steer. That being said, a D6 is a whole lot more than a D3 or even a D 5. Try moving a D6 with a pickup. Apples to oranges.


It be's that way sometimes.
