[AT] somewhat OT--skid steer vs tractor for mowing

[Mike Sloane]

When we sold front brush cutters for our skid steers, the mounting of a 
substantial front door was part of the deal - you don't want to be 
sitting there with all that trash being thrown around. That is also why 
I said that the machines would be hot and noisy in operation, unless you 
got one with AC.
