Skid Steers Buying Guide
If you want to make your work simpler and more efficient, then you should look into getting yourself a skid steer. These rugged machines are used on all kinds of work sites to make jobs easier and faster than ever before. However, you'll want to do some research and give some thought to what you want from a skid steer before you run out and buy one.
Torgerson's Equipment, with several locations in Montana, is proud to be your Big Sky Country skid steer dealer. Here are some of the factors you'll want to take into consideration when you shop for a skid steer for your work.
Size of Frame
You'll want to begin your quest by considering how large your skid steer needs to be. Many models are compact, but there are bigger skid steers for those behemoth projects that require more powerful engines. As the engine gets bigger, so does the frame of the machine, and the weight increases as well. If your work site can't hold a big machine and you have no place to store something so large, though, then the size you choose may be limited by necessity.
Try to find a good middle ground where you can get a machine that's powerful enough to help you get your work done without being so cumbersome that it's not practical to own.
Horsepower
Your next consideration should be the engine of your skid steer. The weight of the material you're hauling will determine how strong and powerful the engine needs to be. Horsepower reflects the speed at which your skid steer works, while torque is a term that covers the general power of the machine. Try to strike a balance between torque and horsepower to get a machine that will work for your needs.
Attachments
The final major detail you'll want to consider when shopping for a skid steer is what types of attachments you want to use with it. Most models come with a bucket attachment because it's versatile and useful for many purposes, but you may want an auger or some other type of tool for performing different tasks on your work site. Getting the right types of attachments and the right skid steer to operate those attachments will boost your productivity significantly.
