    I'm trying to convince The OM that the small Bobcat skid steer would be a justifiable purchase. Especially since it has an enclosed cab.

    The hand pump is a no go for area spraying.

    Again that's why said Bobcat would come in handy, and then could landscape at will without being in no big rush to get the thing off rental, etc.

    Tell the OM you’re gonna get a wagon with a matching harness setup—50lbs plus the pump don’t seem like much until you have to pack it— just say’n I’m on your side

    I've considered that. 5 gallons might not seem like much, but it's 40 pounds.

    The sprayer is 10, so you're right on the money.

    Renting sucks— why I been waiting for @Oxbow to add a dump trailer to his fleet so I can finish my tree removal, fence/deck remodel and gravel driveway projects

    That 2 HP gas engine makes that backpack nice though. I had dude strip half the back yard to dirt last year, and that pre-emergence weed killer has held up really well.

    Just little tiny green nubbins here and there. But I don't want it to get out of control.

    The part that wasn't stripped died off pretty well, but it's coming back a lot faster. A massive chemical assault will remedy that.

    BUT

    With the Bobcat I can strip it all at my leisure, drag around a tank sprayer, and do the rock at my leisure ( kind of, can't F around with it too much ).

    The rock getting hauled in, isn't too outrageous. But it is a lot heavier than it looks lol. That little skid steer is just perfect. Can maneuver it around without crashing into anything. Grade off the weeds without digging up too much.

    Never been real high on the small tractors.
