What Can You Do With a Skid Steer?

A John Deere skid steer is one of the most versatile pieces of compact construction equipment you can own. With the right skid steer attachments, this powerful machine can take on everything from landscaping and grading to digging, lifting, and even demolition. Whether you’re a contractor, farmer, or property owner, a skid steer is a reliable material handling machine that gets the job done.

1. Landscaping & Grading

Do you need to level dirt, move mulch, or clear brush? A skid steer equipped with a bucket or landscape rake can do it all. It’s perfect for yard prep, driveway construction, and smoothing out rough or uneven areas. If you’re looking for land clearing equipment, a skid steer is a smart choice.

2. Material Handling

With pallet forks or grapple attachments, your skid steer becomes a compact but powerful material handling machine. Move pallets, fencing, hay, or lumber with ease are ideal for farms, construction crews, and warehouse operations alike.

3. Digging & Trenching

Turn your skid steer into a digging machine with an auger or trencher attachment. These tools are great for fence installation, planting trees, or putting in drainage and irrigation systems. When you need compact equipment that digs, the skid steer delivers.

4. Demolition & Cleanup

Add a breaker, bucket, or grapple to your skid steer, and it becomes your go-to for land clearing and demolition work. Whether you’re tearing up concrete, removing tree stumps, or hauling debris, this machine saves time, energy, and manpower.
