and I can hear the crying already

but you have to waste time to go get it and return it. SO WHAT!!! it's still cheaper than making a payment on someting that may not get used all that much!!

TPC, try not to freak out... If you rent a loader(skidsteer I assume at $175/day)everytime a storm is forcast, don't you run into the storms not materializing and you're out $175. Damn, it happened every storm last season. Wouldn't it be better just to buy an old skid to load salt? Like a $5000 machine or less?

Maybe my skidsteer assumption is wrong?

No you have a very good point. I'm not goin to go off.... at least your not telling him he's stupid for not getting one and that the only way to load bulk salt is with a loader. your comment was polite unlike most these posts any more a lot are just like what I said. and it's getting old. I like thee ones that say this, Why didn't you do it this way or your a retard for doing it that way!!! I would have never done it that way. Most run their mouths off before asking all the questions or first reading and Comprehending the post.

I 'm not grumpy I am straight forward and you may or may not like it but I tell it how I see and read it.

You have a very good point You can go an get a older machine that works to as long as it doesn't need a lot of repairs and eat up your potential profits I can see doing it that way to. but he maybe limited in storage room to where he might have no where to park it when not using it on the off season. And yes I did have to eat it a few times but hey thats life right. you win some you lose sum.

By the way wasn't this Discussion on a differant post not this one?? or am i losing it (LOL) pretty sure my comment was about a guy wanting to know how he could go about loading bulk salt with out using a Skid Loader... no

Thanks for answering. Yes someone did ask the question of loading salt without a loader, different thread. Everyone does it the way it works for them, I'm the same, not always the most efficient way, but it's the way I like doing it. Nothing wrong with that. I am selling a Bobcat skid right now on this site so I look at every skid for sale to compare with mine. I have run across many that would be perfect for just loading salt in the winter. No bells and whistles, rusty, high hrs, but who cares, the bucket works and that's all that matters.

As far as opinions go, I thought the OP got a lot of useful advice and suggestions. Many times we all don't know enough about each others real situations to offer the correct advice. Sounds like he made a decision and hopefully it works out to his benefit. Sorry to OP for going off on this tangent.
