Aaron,
It sounds like your use will require quite a bit of getting in and out of the skid steer. So entry/egress should be on your list of things to consider, IMO.
I bought a one-armed Volvo (MCT125) last spring, and I REALLY like the side entry. Getting in and out is much easier and safer than the conventional skid steers. JCB built it.
I still don't know what to expect for durability, but it seems to be a relatively clean, simple design. I've only put maybe 100 hours on it, but it has given me no problems thus far. It had about 450 meter hours when I bought it, and it was a rental machine.
Seed pallets and chemical totes are no problem.
I like the tracks so far, but the side entry is the reason I bought the Volvo/JCB. It's a game changing concept, IMO. I'll go so far as to say that I think other manufacturers will follow suit.
Regards.
