A mini skid steer is a compact utility loader, smaller than a standard skid steer. It isn’t used for such tasks as excavating but is an important tool in landscaping. You can seed lawns with it, auger holes for trees and fence posts, and install irrigation systems. It can also move materials such as soil, sand, trees, and pavers. Mini skid steers can also complete indoor jobs as they have a low lift height.
Mini skid steers come with their own set of specifications but they have the following in common:
The Vermeer S450TX mini skid steer is one of the most popular models. It has a 500-pound operating capacity and suits both a landscaping contractor and a rental customer. It is easy enough for the private individual to operate.
Mini skid steers are excellent for certain uses. They are not capable of big jobs such as excavating. You would want to buy a larger skid steer for such work. However, they are ideal for landscaping and can even be used to sow a lawn. Because you can purchase a wide range of attachments for mini skid steers, you can complete almost any job in a garden or park. For example, you can attach a trencher and dig a trench so that you can put in a fence. You can also attach a stump grinder. They will remove any stumps from trees that have been cut down, enabling you to plant a lawn or lay gravel.
Because mini skid steers are compact, they can be used in tight spaces and even reach through narrow passages. Because of their size, they can also be used for indoor jobs, such as in the renovation of a house.
