Buying a Skid Steer
Knowing you want to get a skid steer is one thing. Figuring out which skid steer loader to buy is another! It can be hard navigating the vast range of models and features, which is why we created the following skid steer buying guide. If you have questions or want to explore skid steer loaders for sale, visit the experts at Peak Machinery. We serve all those in the state of Washington, including the good people of Kent and Auburn.
What Size Do You Want?
First, think about how big you need your skid steer to be. This is determined largely by your worksite size. If you will always be working in small spaces, then focus on compact and agile skid steer loaders. You don't want a situation where your equipment is too big to navigate the worksite.
If you know you will be primarily working in large areas, then you will want a larger and more efficient skid steer. You don't want to be inefficient because your skid steer loader isn't suited for the job site.
What Horsepower Do You Need?
Next, figure out what horsepower capacity you need the skid steer to offer. Projects involving heavier materials will need a stronger and more powerful skid steer loader to match. Remember that horsepower correlates to the speed in which your equipment can get work done. More generalized power relates to torque. You'll want your skid steer to have a good balance of both.
What Attachments Do You Want?
One advantage of buying a skid steer are the attachments. These tools get attached to the skid steer loader to help you tackle a wider range of projects. This can help you get more done with the same piece of machinery. In some cases, it could even save you from having to buy a separate piece of equipment.
Most skid steers come with a bucket as their default attachment. But this is only the start! You can get different sized bucket attachments as long as they are compatible with your skid steer. You can even get different types of attachments that can handle many different tasks.
