3 Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Stand-on Skid Steer

One machine that is proving to be a productive, versatile and powerful solution on many jobsites is the stand-on skid steer. With its compact size and increased visibility, you can stay productive on a variety of tasks.

Stand-on skid steer attachments like augers help landscaping crews make efficient work even with a lean team.

Should You Buy a Skid-steer Loader or a Compact Track Loader?

Determining what type of jobsites the equipment will be used on is a top factor because each machine was designed to perform best in certain conditions

Skid steers are great on harder surfaces like concrete and asphalt, especially with hard tires.

Automation Technology Now Pushing the Productivity Curve of Mighty Compact Machines

New sensors and processing power on skid steer and mini excavator attachments enables adaptive creep-speed cruise control, switches loader joysticks to control dozer and grader blades and backhoes to replicate large-machine automation

Sensors and processing power mounted on the Cat GB124 Smart Grader allow the attachment to interface with the loader and switch the loader joysticks to control the moldboard, with automation features like those found on full-sized graders.

Top Preventive Maintenance Tips for Skid-steer Loaders

Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM)

If you want more uptime, lower overall operating costs, greater resale value and a longer life for your skid steer, preventive maintenance is key.

Tire inspection is key for skid-steer loaders. Flat or underinflated tires can affect the machine’s safety and performance in addition to leading to downtime
