A skid steer loader is a versatile piece of construction equipment that can be used for a variety of jobs. Also known as a multi-terrain loader or compact track loader, skid steers feature four-wheel and multi-terrain /compact track loaders feature two tracks to maneuver. The left and right sides are connected to different engines and each side can operate at different speeds. To turn a skid steer, the driver increases the wheel or track speed on one side, causing the machine to “skid” in the desired direction.
A skid steer loader is useful for a range of jobs, making it a popular choice for many construction businesses, contractors, and farmers. What makes skid steers so useful is its attachments:
Skid steer loaders are used for excavating jobs (like creating in-ground swimming pools), construction and paving, landscaping, farming, and trenching and digging. Essentially, if you have an outdoor job, a skid steer loader with the right attachment can get it done.
When used for agricultural work, farmers find that skid steer loaders dramatically improve their efficiency, production, and revenue. Nearly every farmer needs a skid steer loader, which is why Yancey offers special discounts and savings for farmers and agricultural landowners.
