Small Machine, Big Range

A skid steer turns on the spot, so it can work where a bigger loader would not fit: behind a house, inside a warehouse yard or along a block wall. Builders clean up lots and spread decomposed granite. Landscapers shape beds and haul rock. Pool crews haul out spoil, and fence installers drill post holes with an auger.

Tires or Tracks

Wheeled machines cost less to run and move fast on pavement and compacted dirt. Compact track loaders float better on loose sand and soft fill and grip on slopes. Tracks cost more to rent, but they save time where wheels would dig in or spin.

Attachments Worth Asking About

• Forks and buckets for loading pallets and stone
• Augers for drilling post and footing holes
• Trenchers that cut irrigation and conduit runs
• Brush cutters and mulchers for land clearing
• Grapples for brush piles and boulders

Ask which attachments come with the machine, and whether the loader has the hydraulic flow a mulcher or a planer needs.

Heat Considerations

Operators in the Valley need cabs with air-conditioning or shorter shifts, and engines need clean radiators. Dust clogs air filters fast on dry lots, so ask when the owner last serviced them.

Terms

Pick a rating above your heaviest load, and measure the gate. Confirm who provides fuel and the operator, and who pays for damaged tires or tracks. For purchase, see skid steers for sale in Phoenix, or go to the rental hub.

Safety Basics

Before anyone climbs aboard, check the restraint bar, the seat belt and the door or guard. Keep bystanders clear of the arms and never lift people in a bucket. Walk the site first for holes, irrigation lines and loose fill that could tip the machine.
