The introduction of the versatile skid loader in the 1950s has made a tremendous difference in the way heavy work is done in many industries. Sometimes referred to as a slide steer loader or slide loader, it is easy to handle and maneuver with nearly countless applications beyond simply loading. The tasks it can perform are many, including lifting, digging, grabbing, breaking, and flattening. The skid steer is used for construction, agricultural, mining, forestry, and industrial applications from building demolition to fence hole drilling. The small skid steer can access smaller spaces that large heavy equipment is unable to, making the skid steer a flexible essential. The qualities that make the skid loader so versatile are the many attachments it can accommodate. There are so many available attachments that a single skid loader can perform almost any type of heavy work that is required. A skid grapple with varying designs make easy work of picking up demolition debris, rocks, concrete, logs, or even barn manure. Skid loader buckets save the back and save time by moving heavy, difficult to handle materials. Additionally, there are attachments that can mix cement, chip wood, grind stumps, blow snow, rip, till, and roll. They include pallet forks, hydraulic breakers, sweepers, auger mowers, post hole augers, trenchers, and much more. The only limit to the capabilities of a skid loader is the budget available for the many attachments available. Most will purchase those attachments that perform the frequently needed tasks and some, such a neighboring farmers or area construction companies, may collectively purchase less frequently needed attachments to share and use when needed. There are a number of skid loader manufacturers today in addition to the original Melroe manufactured “Bobcat.” They include John Deere, New Holland, Mustang, JCB, and Caterpillar, that all make quality skid steer loaders. What they all share today is the Bobcat universal quick attach system that allows for the same attachments to be used with any brand of skid loader. Owners of any skid loader can use attachments from any of these manufacturers or third party manufacturers, which created the opportunity for tremendous innovation. To get the most value from a skid loader, attachments should be designed for the specific tasks required with the durability to hold up. Independent manufacturers of skid loader attachments have made them much more affordable over the name brand attachments to make the skid loader even more flexible and economical for any industrial, construction, or agricultural application.
