The weight of skid steers varies from types and brands. But typically, the range is between 1,500 - 12,000lbs. The average weight of a full-size skid steer is roughly 7,500lbs. 

This is a good question since the average car only weighs 4,000 pounds. Most of the weight of the skid steer is in the counterweights of the skid steer. Without the counterweight, the skid steer would be very limited on how much it could lift. Most machines even come with an option to add even more counterweight if the owner would like to make the most out of the Rated Operating Capacity.
