Buying Tips Skid steer prices are based primarily on the operating capacity. This ranges from the smallest skid steer which is 650 lbs to the much larger 3,000 lb machines. The prices also range from $12,000 to $50,000. Here are some examples of the middle ranges for skid steer loaders.-1350 lb = $17,000 to $20,000 -1600 lb =$18,000 to $22,000 -2000 lb =$22,000 to $28,000 Renting If you are looking to purchase a new skid steer, renting for a month is a great way to evaluate the loader and if it fits you’re needs. Most skid steer loaders in the 1,600 lb capacity range are rented for a monthly cost of $1,000 to $1,3000. Ask if the dealership you are looking at will even rent it too you and deduct the rent from the final new purchase price. With skid steer’s its important to keep the cost of attachments in mind as part of the cost. These can vary dramatically depending on the implement. A basic bucket can cost $700 to $1,000 and a trencher can reach into the $3,000 to $8,000 range. New v. used Used is only a consideration if you do not intend on using the skid steer full time. The cost of a new machine can easily be balanced with the cost of a new one year warranty and service, plus knowing the machine is up to standard in safety and maintenance to be able to log long working hours. If you intend on using it part time there are some great used deals. A middle range skid steer can be bought for $14,000 used as compared to $20,000 new. You probably want to stick to a machine that’s had roughly up to 2,000 hours of use. This should get you a decent priced machine with a good long life to go. |
