Saw a John Deere 125 skid steer on craigslist for not too much, but I didn't get back in time: lost traction going up a hill on the main road and there I sat until a tow truck got me (the skid loader couldn't pull me, I tried).  Since I was following a plow when I lost it I decided that a night in the hotel was smarter then the back roads the 5 remaining miles.
