10 Highly Specialized but Surprisingly Useful Skid Steer Attachments

Previously, we published a post on the most versatile skid steer attachments. This time around, we’re doing the exact opposite.

We’re going to take a look at some of the most specialized skid steer attachments - which, though they might lose a little in versatility, gain a bit in terms of efficiency at dispatching the jobs for which they are designed.

So with no further ado let’s put the spotlight on the following ten highly specialized and still highly useful skid steer attachments.

Log Splitters

As skid steer attachments go, log splitters are highly specialized. They’re really good for one thing and one thing only: splitting logs.

Which, for tree farm and orchard workers, is a big deal, as it can be for tree crews, landscapers and others in that vertical.

All the same, there are some things that make our log splitters a bit different (and favorably so) from the rest.

The main thing is that our log splitter attachments feature an inverted design so operators can make quick work of a ton of rounds without even leaving the comfort of the cab.

Tree Shears

Our tree shear attachments are pretty much good for one thing: cutting through thick trees. Sure you can cut through posts and pilings too but that’s basically the same application.

Anyway, our tree shear attachments are capable of cutting through trees (depending on model) between 12” and 14” thick. There are no better attachments in the industry for that.

Tree Spades

If you work on a tree farm or an orchard, then chances are the single best skid steer attachment for you is one of our tree spades.

These make digging up and transplanting root balls effortless, and the attachment itself features a short, low design that eliminates the need for counterweights and stabilizers. Fingertip controls make it even easier to operate these.

They completely revolutionize old manual processes and eliminate the backbreaking work of digging up and transplanting trees.

Tree Saws

Like tree shears, tree saw attachments are made to do one thing and do it well: saw through trees. Because of their design it could be argued that they are marginally more versatile than shears but still fundamentally they do the same thing.

Our tree saw attachments can cut through trees up to 10” in diameter and are available with fixed boom and manual rotating head configurations. They also feature 4-sided square cutting teeth that are guaranteed to stay tight.

Rock Saws

Our heavy-duty rock saw attachments are like our tree saw attachments, but for rock and pavement. This makes them highly useful for road crews that need to dig through pavement and asphalt in order to lay or access utilities.

Capable of cutting between 18” and 24” in depth, they feature high-torque steel planetary drives, solid, hardened steel wheels, and protective shields for the hydraulic and electric components.

Barrel Grabbers

Barrel grabbers excel at grabbing barrels, and we have configurations optimized for grabbing both 30 and 55-gallon drums. Both fixed and rotating base configurations are available.

Guaranteed not to crush barrels, and sporting an anti-slip design, these barrel grabber attachments are ideal for junkyards and scrap yards, wineries, oil and gas industry applications, for hazard waste facilities, and government work, among others.

Bale Squeezes

Bale squeezes are like barrel grabbers, but for baled materials. With a bale squeeze, you can make quick work of a field of hay bales, and both round and square bale squeeze configurations are available.

Limb Saw

Need to clear a lot of overhanging limbs? Then what you need is a limb saw skid steer attachment. They’re perfect for municipalities, tree crews, and utilities companies that need to keep roadways and electrical lines clear of imposing limbs. They can reach over 20 feet and make it easier to clear obstacles like fences and creeks.

Sod Rollers

Sod roller attachments are pretty much only good for unrolling sod, but when that’s the line of work, there’s nothing else that will save time, money, and labor in such a dramatic fashion. Fast and efficient, our sod roller attachments are available in both fixed and hydraulic configurations (that one has a brake, too).

Fence Installers

Our fence installer attachments are available in configurations that can handle either chain link or woven wire fence, but regardless, they eliminate a great deal of manual labor and physical effort.

No more heavy lifting is needed, and these attachments hold and dispense fencing under the appropriate tension for a proper installation. They’re also affordable, easy to use, and powder coated for longevity and durability.

Skidsteer Attachments That Will Never Surrender

Looking for the industry’s toughest skid steer attachments, bar none? You’re in the right place and we offer a wide range, from grapple buckets to pallet forks. Our attachments are made in America with American steel (never cheap Chinese imports) and are engineered for easy compatibility with most major makes and models of skid steer loaders.

Discover the difference. Choose an attachment that will Never Surrender, no matter the odds.
