The Skidsteer Has Multiple Applications PDF Print E-mail

Rating 0.0/5 (0 vote)

I own several pieces of heavy equipment, and the one that is most useful is my skidsteer because it has numerous applications. To be sure, each of my other equipment items have multiple applications, but not nearly as many as the skidsteer. It is perhaps the most useful piece of equipment a homesteader can own, even if it's only equipped with the standard loader bucket.

My neighbor says, "If you can't do it with a skidsteer, it just can't be done." That's an exaggeration, but not far off the mark. Here are the things that I've done with my skidsteer and its standard loader bucket:


  • moved snow
  • dug ditches
  • leveled building sites
  • smoothed the drive
  • transported heavy items like welders and raw materials
  • shaped rigid metal
  • moved power poles
  • relocated shop equipment and heavy iron welding tables
  • loaded trucks and trailers
  • pulled fence posts using a chain

I won't say that I couldn't get along without my skidsteer, but it sure is a tremendous work saver. It's much more than a wheelbarrow on steroids - it's a powerful piece of equipment that is versatile and becomes indispensable once you learn how to put it to good use.

To further enhance the versatility of this equipment, one could add forks. This allows for easy moving of objects that would otherwise be damaged by the edges of the loader bucket. Add a "wet kit" and the skidsteer can no accept trenchers, vibratory plows, snow brushes and an earth auger. This adds even more to the versatility of this heavy equipment.

Whether you're buying heavy equipment, a shop tool or a household item, think in terms of multiple applications to help get the biggest bang for your buck.
