The skid steer or slide loader, as it's often called, is propelled by a small powerful engine that also operates a versatile hydraulic system. By choosing various skid steer equipment you can greatly expand the amount of work that you can accomplish.

These power driven skid steer attachments are what makes these machines so universally favored and uniquely flexible for saving time, labor, and money. They are used in a wide variety of industries, from agricultural, construction and material handling to landscaping, demolition and snow removal.

With skid steer attachments you can easily transport items from one area to another by easily lifting, moving and depositing items to a selected destination, like a platform or truck. Attachments are available for nearly any type of loading chore.

Another useful benefit of the steer loader is the fact that it can be used equally well for digging. Digging and making holes for excavation can be accomplished with speed and efficiency using any of a number of the skid steer's useful attachments.

A variety of different kinds of skid steer buckets are also in the non-hydraulic category. Extremely lightweight materials are usually handled with especially large buckets. Most of these are designed with a sharp straight edge designed specifically for scooping.

Buckets that have teeth instead of a cutting edge are also readily available for digging purposes of various types.

Some of the most interesting of the skid steer attachments are the ones that operate on hydraulic power. Among the most used hydraulic assemblies to put on a skid loader are the multi-purpose buckets that open and close hydraulically.
