Are Skid Steer Attachments Universal and Interchangeable?

1130, 2022
Not all skid steer attachments are universal, but your skid steer will likely be able to mount most – if not all – attachments you require. This is because there are varying types of skid steer, which range in their capacity and capability, so some attachments are potentially going to be too much for your specific skid steer to handle. You should have a conversation with the supplier of your skid steer and its attachments to come to a conclusion as to whether they will work together.

As mentioned, most skid steers can mount most attachments, but that doesn’t mean they will work together as the platform for attachments itself has been designed to be ‘universal’ and there are adaptors to accentuate this. If you use an attachment that isn’t compatible with your skid steer, it could lead to reduced productivity or a dangerous working environment. You must also consider whether your attachments require high flow or low flow capacity, which we speak more about below.
