A Ventrac or Steiner might not be a bad choice. The people who own them love them. I've never personally owned or ran one. A lot of municipalities use them for property maintenance. If you've got some coin to blow a Bobcat Toolcat 5600 is an awesome machine with all wheel steer, a boom that will lift 1500 lbs, has a dump bed capable of handling about 2000 lbs, takes almost all bobcat attachments has enclosed cab and air. You can find an older one with around 1400 hours for around 24K. I guess it ultimately depends on what your primary use is and what your budget is and what your primary use is. Personally I've got a Hustler Super Z for mowing and I use a Bobcat for everything else. I should mention I sell skid steers so I'm not exactly unbiased but a Bobcat is about as handy a tool as you can buy when you consider you can get about every attachment you can imagine at a rental yard. If you're going to do some land clearing that requires some dirt moving I'd go skid steer. If your primary use is mowing with some light lifting a compact tractor would be a good choice.
