Nope. I bought the skidsteer when I bought my first house in CT. Place had no yard, entirely sloped backyard covered in second growth trees, pricker bushes and rocks...
Skidsteer and I made a 4000 sq ft yard in the back for the kids to play on.

Love that little machine! I use it to clean snow instead of my snowplow, it's more fun and I can make nice piles for the kids to play on.

At the new house, I've already pulled about 50 beachball sized rocks from the edge of the property and flattened/graded about 500 sq ft which will be parking area.

It moved my old woodstove, chest freezer, kegerator, toolbox and a car tent from one house to the other. Moving the tent was great.... 2x4 across the horizontal supports and picked up the whole thing and drove it over. Awfully convenient to only be moving 100 yards up the street.

Also moved the lazy-man piles of brush and leaves which the PO had left in places I did not think appropriate.

In the spring, a bunch of those stones will be moved to the creek to build a little dam. Kids g.otta have a place to splash about
