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. |
