I was always told try push the machine to its limits because you need to know how far it will go. I did that with the JCB backhoe I ran for most of the year I pushed it and I damn near crapped myself.

The thing I don't like about skid steers is not being able to see behind you easily your always backing up blind. I don't know how guys can run a skid steer for a long period of time it beats you up worse than a rubber tired backhoe.

I mostly drive truck but I was running backhoe and excavator. I only ran skid steer a little bit when I worked for a building supply. There machine is a 763 Bobcat.
