Comparing similarly sized machines with skid steers, its night and day.
In the general world of heavy equipment, everything is whittled down into something that just barely lasts through the warranty period, except for some reason forklifts. Why can I buy a forklift that is so damn well thought out, reasonably priced and dependable, but not a skid steer, dozer, washing machine, car or truck?
