Frame & Equipment Size

Like with any big machinery, you'll want to first think about some of the big picture concerns. The physical size of your skid steer should probably be one of these concerns. Before we even get to the engine, ask yourself how big your project is and how that might affect how big your heavy equipment needs to be. Bigger projects probably require bigger machines. Smaller projects probably require smaller machines.

The Exceptions

Sometimes, a big project still requires a small machine, if you're working in an area that's not accommodating to big equipment. Some residential areas and bigger cities won't offer the space you need to operate that kind of skid steer.

And, of course, there's your budget. Big skid steers have a big price tag that, no matter how you work it, might just always be out of your price range. At that point, you might need to consider a smaller model.

Power

Size isn't just about physicality. You'll also want to consider how strong you need your skid steer to be. This will mean thinking about things like horsepower and PTO (power take-off). Horsepower will affect speed while PTO will change how strong your model is. Your tasks will greatly depend on these issues, so give them some serious thought before making any final decisions.

Versatility of Attachments

While the basic skid steer may not look very versatile, you'll find people in your network use them for all sorts of tasks. The secret is in the attachments. Most models come standard with a bucket, but that's far from the only attachment you can use. There is a wide assortment of options and they can all seriously improve your productivity. Keep in mind, the attachments need to be compatible with your skid steer, so choose wisely with your machine in mind.

On that note, you should be all set to find the right skid steer for sale here at Arnold's Inc. Or, maybe you still need a little help deciding. Not to worry; our experienced staff will help you with all your questions and concerns so you can be confident you're making the right choice.
