i am looking at a Finn Eagle mini skid steer the 254 model made in ohio i am in indiana anyone heard of this company in my opinion the lift cap seems low...the guy is asking 6k for it and I'm going to look at it first thing tomorrow i want to put a grapple on it so i can use it for brush and small-medium logs. we have a cat 226b skid steer for bigger stuff

Capacity seems to be inline (give or take) with my wheeled Thomas 25G. With many skid steers there are two capacity ratings to look for. Operating capacity and tipping capacity. I think it would be worth researching a little more to figure out the loads it will handle. The 25G is 500lbs operating and 900 tipping, as a reference. Hope it works out for you minis are great!
 
Introducing FrankenFinn. Converted to tracks and diesel. I bought it like this. It is a good light mini. Can pick up 500ish lbs. probably due to the extra weight of the undercarriage. The original wheeled version will be lighter. But for the price point it is not a bad starter unit. But it is slow for long hauls.
