Top Reasons to Buy Skid Steer Attachments Near You (Rather Than from China)

Your skid steer is an immensely versatile machine that will only benefit by equipping it with select skid steer attachments which can vastly enhance its overall capabilities.

Armed with a bucket, auger drive, root grapple, or some other attachment, there’s almost nothing you can’t do with a skid loader, especially in industrial and agricultural applications.

You have to choose wisely, though. Here are the top reasons to look for skid steer attachments near you, especially instead of buying from China.

Steel Quality

Do not buy skid steer attachments made in China. End of story. This alone is a reason to look for skid steer attachments near you.

For one, the fit and finish of many of these attachments are terrible. We cover some of the problems with knockoff brands in the post at the previous link. If you don’t believe it, just start snooping forums and you will (sooner rather than later) hear plenty of evidence from real-life users that got scammed.

Beyond aesthetic appeal, however, Chinese steel is notoriously bad for its quality, or lack thereof. Remember, steel chemistry itself is only half of the picture. Even an excellent alloy that has been poorly handled and heat treated will result in steel that is too brittle, has a compromised yield strength, is prone to accelerated corrosion, or worse.

In addition to the rampant issues with poor quality, there is probably very little quality control or oversight in Chinese production. There’s no other way to explain the consistent low quality. The only thing reliable about Chinese skid steer attachments is that they are unreliable.

Conversely, our skid steer attachments are not only made in the United States, but made with American steel only. Quality is guaranteed and you can buy with confidence (see below).

You know the old saying “you get what you pay for.” Well, it’s still glaringly true, and if you buy an attachment made in China, you’re asking to roll the dice.

Don’t say you haven’t been warned.

Guaranteed Compatibility

Many of our skid steer attachments are made for compatibility with the industry’s leading manufacturers and models, such as Case, Gehl, New Holland, Mustang, Bobcat, Toro Dingo, and John Deere, among others.

Our attachments are designed for maximum compatibility so you don’t need to worry about your machine. Thanks to the universal mounting plates (and the fact that, where applicable, they often come with hoses and couplers) it’s a relative snap to outfit most major makes and models of skid loaders with Spartan Equipment attachments.

Warranty and Support Options

At Spartan Equipment we proudly put our money where our mouth is. Many of our attachments are covered with either 6-month or 1-year warranties that guarantee them free from defects in materials and workmanship that could cause failure.

For more information, please see our Warranty Information page.

On top of that, we extend top-tier service and support to our customers, and are based right in Joppa, Maryland. Contacting customer care is easy, and you can reach us online, via chat or email, or at 1-888-888-1085. We’re standing by to help you.

Don’t expect the same level of service from an overseas manufacturer.

Money Back Guarantee

Our position is simple: Whenever you purchase any new or certified pre-owned attachment from us (as long as it has a warranty) you can return it for a full refund (less freight charges to and from) for 7 days from the date of delivery.

When you get your attachment, if it doesn’t meet your expectations (for practically any reason) you can get your money back during this window of time. See our Money Back Guarantee policy page for more information.

With Spartan Equipment, you can buy with confidence. Just one more thing you shouldn’t expect from an imported brand.

Financing and Leasing Are Available

Skid steer attachments are expensive. We know that, and don’t want you to have to spend more of your hard-earned money than you can afford to, especially not at once.

That’s why we offer both financing and leasing options that are flexible enough to meet your needs. We know one size doesn’t fit all so we offer several.

And as for leasing, maybe your heart was set on owning a new attachment, but don’t rule it out. There are lots of good reasons to lease, such as avoiding bank restrictions, tax benefits, and the fact that variable payment plans are available. See our page on “9 Reasons to Lease” and get in touch with our customer service team if you still have questions or concerns.
