Current location：Why it is important to select the correct skid steer attachment
0207, 2023
As mentioned in the introduction, there are often 3 or 4 different models of the same skid steer attachments that might look, on the surface, to do the same job. This is rarely the case, especially when it comes to hydraulic attachments. We will cover the difference in more detail later on.
Firstly, and obviously, the wrong skid steer attachment might not fit your machine. For example, a mini skid steer attachment will not be able to be picked up by a “full size” skid steer. And vice versa, although there are adapters out there to enable this to happen, in general a mini skid steer attachment is designed to suit the smaller machines.
Next is the operation of the skid steer attachment. If the attachment is not the correct size to suit your skid steer, then it will now work to its full potential. This means it might not do the job that you intended, or be worth the investment spent.
For hydraulic attachments, an incorrect skid steer attachment can easily lead to issues with hydraulic motors etc. By sending too little or much hydraulic fluid to the attachment, it can blow the motor or cause the motor to not spin fast enough. Neither of which are good options and can lead to expensive repairs and a return to the seller.
