Right on! Those hydraulics make like a lot easier. Ever mess with one that had a multi-stage cylinder? Kinda cool how much lift you get out of such a compact setup.

Honestly, it depends on the job. If I am in a tight trench or working around pipes, I will grab a rammer or plate compactor. It is easy to move around and get the job done. For big areas with clay or heavy dirt, a padfoot roller is the way to go because it kneads that soil in. If it is gravel...

Picking the right flatbed trailer really comes down to what you are hauling and how often you'll use it.

Skid steers can definitely hold their own, especially with the right tires and a skilled operator. They might not have the same track grip, but their speed and agility can make a big difference on muddy sites. It is all about knowing how to work with what you have got.

That is a great observation. They usually have hydraulic levers to control the tracks. It is a pretty unique system that gives operators control, especially in tough terrains.
