Applications for Posi-Track and Wheeled Skid Steers

Ground conditions play a key role in choosing the right skid steer. For loose terrain, it might be a better idea to operate a posi-track skid steer loader as it offers exceptional traction and stability on soft, sandy, or slippery surfaces. They also excel in wet conditions and minimise surface damage with their specialised tread design. For compact ground, wheeled skid steers are cost-effective, about $30 cheaper per hour than posi-tracks due to easier maintenance, and are versatile for tasks with attachments like buckets, augers, and drills, though they have slightly less break-out force without track ballast.

Sizes and Specs of Common Brands of Skid Steer Loaders

Skid steer loaders are categorised by operating weight, which correlates with horsepower and breakout force. The iseekplant directory simplifies sizes into small, medium, and large, with filters to refine your search. Here's a handy reference table showing typical sizes for both wheeled and posi-track skid steer loaders:
