Who Buys in Charlotte

Landscape and lawn companies, home builders, fence and deck crews, pool contractors, small excavation firms and rental yards buy skid steers across Mecklenburg County and its neighbors. The mix of new subdivisions and older neighborhoods under renovation gives every kind of buyer something to do, and a used machine is often a first step into equipment ownership.

Buying Guide

• Wheels or tracks: wheels are cheaper to run, tracks perform better on soft ground and slopes.
• Rated operating capacity: choose above your regular load, counting attachments.
• Hydraulic flow: high-flow circuits run mulchers, cold planers and brush cutters.
• Cab: enclosed with air conditioning for hot summers, or open for lower cost.
• Controls: joysticks or foot pedals, according to operator preference.
• Dealer support: nearby parts and service reduce downtime.

Used-Machine Walk-Through

Compare the hour meter with the condition of the pedals, seat and window glass. Check lift arms and pivot pins for play, and look for welds that were repaired. On wheeled units, inspect the chain cases and axle seals. On tracked units, measure rubber thickness, rollers, idlers and sprockets. Run the auxiliary hydraulics with a quick-attach tool. Examine the engine bay, since leaking oil and caked clay often hide inside. Ask where the machine worked: landscaping is easier on a machine than breaking concrete.

Costs

New machines carry a warranty and finance programs from dealers. Used ones suit small budgets. Add the cost of a trailer and a tow vehicle if you do not already own them. For occasional use, skid steer rental in Charlotte avoids storage and maintenance. See the Charlotte buying hub for more categories.

Attachments Change the Value

A skid steer that arrives with a clean bucket, a set of forks and an auger can be worth more than a bare machine at a lower price. Check that the quick-attach plates are straight, the couplers hold pressure and the attachments are in working order. If you want a mulcher or cold planer later, confirm the high-flow circuit before you buy.
