The Top 8 Mini Skid Steer Attachments for Landscaping (Plus a Few Extras)

If your landscaping crew has a mini skid steer in the arsenal, get more out of it with the use of these top 8, highly specialized yet surprisingly versatile mini skid steer attachments.

Mini Skid Steer Buckets

Bucket attachments may be the most versatile mini skid steer attachments of them all. They can be used for loading, lifting, handling, moving, grading, digging, excavating, and much more.

They’re equally useful for moving snow as they are at moving gravel, rocks, sand, and dirt, and can be used to level land, create grades, and perform light compaction duties as well.

At Spartan Equipment, we offer mini skid steer buckets in a wide variety of sizes and configurations, with or without cutting edges, teeth, or tooth bars which are more efficient for digging.

Landscape Rakes

Landscape rakes might be more specialized than mini skid steer bucket attachments but they are still highly useful.

Our landscape rakes break up clods and level, grooming and finishing the soil and preparing a seed bed for planting. This makes them great for preparing the soil for rolling our sod, tool.

They can collect and remove rocks and debris, too, and have adjustable side skids so the operator can easily set the depth.

Brush Cutters

Brush cutters are indispensable for landscaping crews, especially if heavy-duty clearing is on the docket.

Our mini skid steer brush cutter attachments are all 44”, but they are available in three different flow rates and our industrial series model is equipped with a push bar for more aggressive work.

They’re also capable of clearing tough, thick, woody debris up to 2” in diameter, which means you can even take on small saplings with these things.

Root Grapples

Root grapple attachments are useful for crews that have a need for brush cutters - because after you’ve cleared all that coarse debris, you need a way to consolidate or dispose of it.

Our mini skid steer root grapple attachments, which are available in multiple sizes, feature manipulable top tines that make them perfect for wrangling with large, wieldy, cumbersome, or uneven debris. They’re also configurable with cylinder rod covers that protect the shaft from damage.

This makes them great for consolidating and removing cut vegetation, tangled roots, and logs - but they’re also great for demolition crews and disaster cleanup as well.

Stump Grinders

For any crews that need to remove stumps and trees, stump grinders can be highly useful mini skid steer attachments.

What’s great about them is that they are more compact and easier to maneuver than some of the other attachments, such as buckets, grapples, and landscape rakes.

This makes them easier to get past gates and into tight spaces such as backyards and side yards, where they can be used to finish the cleanup

Tree Spades

For landscaping crews that need to dig up and remove trees without injuring them, or to transplant or plant new trees, such as flowering trees and other ornamentals, tree spades are top mini skid steer attachments.

Capable of digging up a tree with a 30” root ball, our tree spade attachments have low profile blade towers, legs that are adjustable so the operator can set the digging depth, and other operator-friendly features such as a short frame that eliminates the need for couterweights or stabilizers.

We also sell tree booms and tree forks, which are similarly useful mini skid steer attachments.

Trenchers

Trenchers can also be useful for landscaping crews, especially those that need to cut irrigation lines or channels. Trenchers can also be highly useful for cutting French drains that can aid in drainage, especially in soils that are prone to flooding.

Our mini skid steer trencher attachments are available with different chains suitable for digging in different soil conditions. Choose a cup tooth chain that’s suitable for most soil types (except sticky soil), a shark tooth chain that is more effective on harder, denser soils, or a bullet tooth chain that can cut through rocky, flinty soil and frozen soil with ease.

Mini Skid Steer Auger Attachments

Last but not least, we have mini skid steer auger attachments. While these attachments have a wide range of uses overall, for landscapers they can be indispensable for digging holes to accommodate root balls.

They can also be used to dig holes for fence posts, too, which adds to their utility and versatility.
