skid steer

I built a Rube Goldberg loader quick and dirty to keep me from building a Cadtrac. You may be interested to see both of them: http://flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/2102196365/

I wanted a tractor that didn't dig up the ground and was small. Rube Goldberg got kind of big--no plans either. You have to be careful with skid steers. You might think about some tracks for yours.

Tell me more about your skid steer. That is a sweet idea!!! How do you figur out size or hydro pump and motors for somthing like that? I have been wanting to do somthing like that with sommobile tracks. Any info would be helpful thanks!
