Skid steer is the way to go. Too bad mine got a stolen. Way better lifting capacity.

I use a JD2305 to clear snow. Does the job, little slower. But ya, as previously stated get a 30+hp tractor or skid steer.
Thats what I got as well for around bins and close to buildings. They are a nice little tractor. I have a 7710 for clearing the yards.

Cant get out of the skid steer with bucket/forks in air unless way up. Only drawback to them Be fine for lifting deck out as forks should work on their own. No strap needed

this thread should not be about money. everyone knows money is no object here.
Unfortunately, I only wanted to spend 10 g on a tractor


Till I looked a few , friggin junk , and so old can not get parts anymore ( Ford 3000-5000 and Massey 35-65 ) as good examples

So full spend and got close to every thing I wanted , and saved 15 g from buying new, but I was lucky , looking back at what spent to what I got now

my bota bx2350 with tiller and loader was 17000 all in. that was in 2007. wished it would have lifted a little more weight but did the job.

We have two older rigs for acerage things, a 950 and more recently a 955. Normally the 950 gets snow moving duty, with a our old big blower on the ass end. That being said the 955 will probably take over with its heated cab, 4x4 and front-mounted blower in the near future.

Lots of options out there, just not much when you dont want to spend a pile of cash
