Skid Steer Loaders

Your skid loader is the workhorse you rely on for everything from landscaping, barn-cleaning, corral-grading, to lane-maintenance. Anytime you need to push, blow, sweep or move, you’re turning to this must-have piece of equipment.  Not only are the attachments handy, but the steering system is critical for maneuverability in tight spaces.

Equipment Maintenance Tips

The skid loader is one of your most frequently used pieces of equipment, with a wide variety of uses. For that reason, it is recommended that you perform maintenance regularly to prevent excessive wear and damage.

-          Check the engine oil level and hydraulic/hydrostatic fluid levels before and after operation, being sure not to overfill oil and fluids.

-          Inspect the engine air filter to reduce the risk of clogged and damaged air filters, as they will affect horsepower and efficiency.

-          Regularly check the coolant system to prevent overheating and damage to the engine.

-          Lubricate lift arms, cylinders and pivot pins after every use.

-          Be sure tires are checked regularly for wear, damage and pressure. Tires should be inflated to the maximum pressure to reduce wear.

-          Rotate tires intermittently.

-          Engine valves should be adjusted every 1800-2000 hours.

-          Visually check attachment components (hoses, cylinders, auger flighting and teeth, cutting blades and edges) for wear damage, fluid levels and lubrication.
