Features and Options

One of the unique advantages to skid steer loaders is the wide range of attachments that can be added making them a very useful all-rounder. Here are some of the options that can be used with the skid steers.

-Pallet forks- this give forklift functionality to the vehicle
-Multi-purpose or 4 in 1 bucket- this is an opening and closing “jaw” bucket
-Grapple bucket- clamps down with “arms” over the load
-Hydraulic hammers- used for breaking rock or concrete -Brooms-powered brooms for cleaning up job sites
-Augers- drill clean holes, fast and efficiently
-Grapplers- used for picking up large, loose materials such as brush or recycling
-Cold planners- used for scraping and leveling pavement
-Lifting booms- used to move and pick up heavy objects
-Trenchers- dig trenches of various depths and widths
-Backhoes- a smaller digging arm
-Snow blowers and pushers- used for shoveling snow in small roadside places
-Stump grinders- literally grind’s tree stumps into sawdust
-Mowers- comes in multiple speeds and sizes
-Rototillers- used in landscaping for turning soil over

As you can see there is no end to the kind of attachments that can be used, some places list up to 50 different types. Most buyers buy one or two attachments depending on the use, then buy as needed. Some attachments require a high-powered hydraulic system, or a high-flow hydraulic system like the cold planers or the stump grinders. There are some skid steer loaders that do not automatically come with a high-flow hydraulic system, so if you intend on using certain hydraulic attachments make sure you inquire on what is available with the skid steers you look at.
