I'm in the situation as 09 arctic cat m8. Looking for the same. Looking to spend around 20-25. Keep going with the info. Not trying to steal this post. Just need some info on what people think is a good acreage skid steer.
In Saskatchewan you can take a 1a course with a private company. However you still have to take a road test thru Saskatchewan government insurance, in order to get your licence. Seems to weed out the weak ones.
I run a radiant tube heater in my shop. 30x50with 12 ft ceiling. Absolutely love it. Very inexpensive to operate compared to a force air furnace. Only down fall is the noise from the tubes expanding and contracting from heat and cooling cycles.
