Skid steer questions

I'm looking at buying a skid steer. I'm trying to decide if i should go used or just get a new one. I'm wanting something in the area of a 2k pound lift. What do you guys suggest. It will just be for fram use and lifting logs. It will be used with steel tracks and a grapple bucket most of the time. please give me the advantages and disadvantages of the different brands. I don't know anything about equipment. I have noticed that all the different makes are priced close to the same.

Thanks Scott
