What is a skid steer good for?

A skid steer is the fastest way to move material and grade a site. It does not dig deep.

Skid steers have rigid axles and turn by skidding their wheels, while compact track loaders use tracks for better traction and lower ground pressure, making them ideal for soft or muddy terrain. Choose based on your ground conditions and whether you need speed on hard surfaces or stability on delicate ground.
