What Size of Skid-Steer Do You Want?

A great place to start is thinking about how big you want you skid-steer to be. The models can range from compact to massive. When picking a size, you'll want to take a few factors into account. First, consider the size of your work site. You don't want to get a giant rig that can't maneuver around your small workspace. Second, think about the size of the engine you'll need. Bigger and more powerful engines will need a bigger frame to house it. Third, bear in mind any storage limitations. You'll need to put the skid-steer somewhere when it's not in use, so make sure you've got a space big enough to shield it from the elements.

What Horsepower Do You Want?

When you visit a skid-steer dealer, you'll find an impressive range of horsepower options. The heavier the material you'll be handling, the higher horsepower you will want to have. You'll also want to take into account how horsepower affects lift height. Remember that horsepower correlates to the speed that your skid-steer can work, while torque refers to more general power. Try to balance these two areas to get the most efficient specs for your needs.
 

What Attachments Do You Want?

Skid-steers can be outfitted with a range of attachments to help diversify the tasks they can handle. This allows you to tackle a wider range of tasks with the same piece of equipment. In some cases, this could even save you from having to buy a piece of equipment. Instead, you can just get an attachment to handle the same tasks!

Spend some time researching the various attachments available to you. You can also ask your local skid-steer dealer what the most popular attachments are or what they recommend. When you know what your options are, it'll be easier to know what add-ons matter most to you so that you can find a model compatible with those attachments.
