Lets see all the mini skid steers out there and how they are used on jobs. Ill start, here is my Toro Dingo 322 at a tree job lifting some heavy logs. I also use it for mulching and any other job that i think it would be handy for.
It lifts between 500-600lbs but if you have someone else standing on the back with you you can lift up more. It does not do any damage to the turf as long as you are not turning on a dime. Also when you have a big load up in the front like in the pic above there is not alot of weight on the back tires which means you can make alot tighter turns.
Here are two pictures of my tx420 with an attachment that I made to remove small tree stumps and nearly any bush. Im working on a hydraulic grapple that I will be able to attach to my forks and to one of my buckets to help with mulch/loose debris and logs.

Actually we took a video of it pulling the former cedar tree out to send to my insurance company so they could see how this "home made" attachment worked and that it wouldn't be a hazard in use; so no "action" photos from this job. It would pull out the stumps not hooked up to the dingo (only hydraulics hooked up). All the forces are internal on the attachment. Mostly 4x2 1/4" wall square tubing with 3.5" bore 20" stroke cylinder and 1/2" grade 80 chain. The attachment weighs easily 300 lbs.
3.5" diameter cylinder x 3000 psi operating pressure from the dingo means MUCHO vertical pulling force.
Does anyone know where to purchase a larger light materials bucket then the one toro sells? I want to use it to move large amounts of mulch.
The stump extractor in the following pictures is great.

i think the light materials bucket I have from toro is seven cubic feet at most.
I have seen larger ones in pictures and think they are ten to twelve cubic feet in size.
A Toro "light materials" bucket was included when I bought the dingo used and it is 4' wide and seems to hold about 1/3 yard (9-10 cu/ft). If you're looking for higher volume for mulch moving, think about adding a grapple to your bucket and then you can increase the volume by a good amount.
