Elliott compares the two machines. By the time we'd get the tee box level with a tractor and blade, the tractor would be off the box and the blade couldn't do its job. With the 751 loader, once you get the rough grade, it's easy to turn the machine around in its own tracks and use the bucket to plane off the outside edge, level the box and smooth out your tire tracks when you're done. Completing installation of an irrigation line is simply a matter of running the loader's tire over the backfilled trench to compact it and then using the bucket to remove any excess fill. Also, he adds, because the skid-steer loader operator has a much better view of the bucket, there's less damage to the topdresser units when loading them, compared to using the tractor.
End result is longer service life of the topdressers and higher resale value.
