Not sure what you mean by "work as a tractor". But telehandlers sometimes have auxiliary outputs for certain machinery, but telehandlers are basically designed to be forklifts with boom arms instead of driving right up to where the cargo is going. Spider lifts are a similar machine, but a little more versatile as well.
A skid-steer (wheels or tracks) can work as a fork lift and cart specific things around. The downside is they have very limited lift and aren't as suited to be a fork lift. The good thing is they can have a multitude of attachments on the front.
Most equipment like this is left outside, and hydraulic work is never cheap. Neither is diesel engine repairs as commonly found on these machines. Do you spend $20,000 repairing hydraulics and engine, or do you just buy a new unit for $40,000?
What are you needing for a regular work process?
