Custom farming is the same. A round baler and tractor will probably cost 180k depending on make and model. Yet charge the same per $12 per bale as used machinery for about 70k in machinery purchase

Those are two totally different machines for totally different applications. Compare a new 953 to the one in the video.

Correct. Their business is what gets moved for price. Your business is how it’s done.

Skidsteer is a support machine. You need one but you’re not getting most work done without other machines

You are absolutely right. Bid jobs. It’s hard to make it just by the hour. Buy 3 loaders. A get job done 20x faster than your nabor with the skid steer.

Notice the skid steer is on an infrastructure job, over priced government projects that the Union companies keep putting charges on charges. Probably a lease so they can write that off.

I have preached this for years. I love my crawler loaders for rental and sales but I have had a very hard time embracing the mini world and ctl world because of my “loader love😂”.

Skid steers are expensive and are good for driveways, but a cat 953, 963, or 973 are your money makers, do the maintenance, keep the tracks greased, a good operator, and your golden.
