QUESTION:I would tend to think that a tractor would do better, having so much more
weight to keep the blade engaged in your pile, and the ATV might just
spin....
ANSWER: That's the problem. The barn was built for one size tractor that hasn't
been on the farm in 25 years. We made do with others, but it's such a major
production to get them so they'll fit, it takes about 3 hours or so to make
a tractor so it'll fit and then re-fit the parts you have to take out of
them.
I have found in talking to some of the folks that work at the dealerships
that few, if any, of them ever use ATV's to do "work" rather than to just
ride from A to B. Unless it's in the manual, most have no idea what towing
capacity is on any of them, and no one who works there can tell me how much
they'll push.
I'm running into the problem of what-I-need versus what-I-want. I think I
need something like a skid steer loader to do this, which has no use at all
as a hunting vehicle. What I want is an ATV, and I'm trying to justify
it...
