Mini skid vs compact tractor

Mini skid vs compact tractor

Just looking for opinions here from someone who's used both. This is for personal use on my acreage, mainly: snow removal, trail building/mowing (rough cut) and basic driveway maintenance. I currently have a side by side with a plow for the snow/getting firewood/moving stuff around. And when I need a loader or rough cut mower I share a Kubota b7800 with my mother in law, but it's a pain. I'm thinking a mini skid might be the way to go? I'm hoping for more garage space, the SxS takes up a whole bay currently, and I never really use it. I like the tractor but again with the loader and a 3pt they end up being not so compact. How do mini skids do pushing snow? Any idea what size of pusher they can handle? Are they able to run hydraulic attachments like mowers? I've spent hundreds of hours in a S300 with a grapple but I've never used a stand behind machine so I'm curious what it's like?

Offroad bike recommendations

Currently have a 250cc and a 50cc for myself and a kid. I'm sick of cleaning carbs and ready to just get into a pair of low maintenance e bike. Any recommendations? The 250 (2stroke) is honestly too big for me anyways and I find the high seat height really annoying. I have 10 acres of woods at my house that'll be the main riding area, but there's tons of crown land around me to ride too. Any ideas? Osets look great for the acreage but I've heard they don't do great on extended trail riding. I really don't know what else is out there, I've heard of surron and stark, and talaria? I want something that will have parts availability, and be pretty tough (I know some ebikes seem more like MTB based parts)

Seriously why do they need to be like this? Normally never had issues but accidentally over contributed to an RRSP a couple years ago and it's been a nightmare since. Filing T1-OVPs and get no response until a full year later, CRA website/phone line sucks and is very often "undergoing maintenance" so I can't access anything I need to. It doesn't have to be like this. There shouldn't be any carve outs and payments, it should be simple. If you make X, you pay Y. Obviously with brackets for different income levels but the rest of this garbage can go in my opinion. Think of all the money that would be saved not having to process all this extra garbage paperwork and time spent guessing and trying to translate what the forms actually want.
