Skid steers or “bobcats” have long been praised for their power, versatility and maneuverability. Since coming on the scene in the late 1950s/early 1960s these little workhorses have revolutionized the way many light and medium duty tasks on a job site get done. This is especially true in the landscaping industry.
Probably the biggest advantage that skid steers offer to professional landscapers today is their Swiss Army knife-like ability to become several different machines through the addition of attachments. Skid steer attachments for landscaping allow landscapers to not only do existing jobs quicker and easier, but also create opportunities to expand into new areas that can help grow a business beyond its existing reach.
Below is a quick breakdown of some useful skid steer attachments for landscaping:
General Landscaping
Stump Grinder
Removing trees and shrubs requires taking out not only what’s above the ground, but what is below it, as well – especially if new plantings or lawn is being added in its place. Stump grinder attachments for skid steers allow you to easily remove below grade remnants and prep the area for its next phase.
Bucket with Teeth
All the capacity and durability of a standard bucket, but with an added set of teeth which provide additional digging and rough grade capabilities.
Auger
Planting a row of trees or a line of fence posts, the auger attachment will make quick work of any prep work you need to get done.
Hardscaping
Breaker
Break up existing concrete walkways or patios in a fraction of the time it would take using a standard breaker or hand tools.
Grapple Bucket
Easily pick up and move large chunks of hard-to-handle debris to prep the work area for its finish grade quicker.
Forks
Fork attachments for skid steers make moving large stacks or heavy palletized items like pavers and shaped stone around a job site easy.
Snow Removal
Snow Plow
The ability to create additional revenue streams is critical to the growth and sustainability of a landscaping company – that can include things like doing snow removal during the winter months. Snow plow attachments for skid steers keep the machine and the crew using it busy during those times when the temperature drops and the “white gold” starts falling.
Being in business for yourself is hard enough. Finding ways to get jobs done quicker and more efficiently is something every landscaper tries to do – sometimes more successfully than others. Either way, having the right equipment is a great first step and skid steer attachments for landscaping help you do that.
