The skid steer vs loader tractor thread below got me thinking about how I use both.  I tend to use my loader tractor whenever possible often because it's just easier to get on and off.  I find myself crawling out underneath a raised bale of hay on the skid steer to close a gate or cut netwrap off of a bale.  In addition to having to be Houdini, this is just plain dangerous.  

A neighbor suggested looking at a JCB skid steer with a side door.  I've never seen one but it looks like it would help in a one man operation that can not justify having a payloader around.

Here's a link to some pictures.

I was wondering if anyone here uses one and any pluses or minuses compared to a more conventional skid steer.  One plus I see right away is I am not having to slither underneath a 1500 lb raised bale to close a gate!
