The Texas skid steer concrete crusher is just one of those Texas skid steer attachments that is so amazingly useful, so well-designed and conceived, that it makes you wish every product used in Texas would have been designed by the same company. Every building project and demolition project leaves behind chunks of unusable concrete, block and brick. Large items like these take up precious storage space, are cumbersome to clean up, and can’t be easily used for other applications.
But the concrete crusher does just what the name implies and pulverizes these troublesome materials into a form that is readily and easily dealt with, it also can be converted into quite usable fill, as well as the base material for driveways and roads. In any case, the granulated material does not have to hauled away. As a result, there’s less of a need for large-material-type dumpsters sitting around filled with this stuff, ruining the look of your property and costing many hundreds of dollars in waste-disposal fees. The Texas skid steer can be used to haul it and hide it, or recycle it.
The concrete crusher can handle Texas-sized debris as well: block up to 24 inches across, as well as bricks and stone. It will crush these materials down to 2 inches or less, discharging it at about 10 tons per hour. The Texas skid steer concrete crusher has heavy steel plate construction and can handle a half of a yard of debris at a time. Its 2-foot-long crushing rotor has replaceable carbide bits and a hardened breaker, cleaner, and cheek plates.
But the best feature of the 66-inch wide concrete crusher has to be its ability, once attached to the Texas skid steer loader, to be tipped down so it can scoop up the debris. Once it is upright it begins chewing away at the concrete. There’s no need to pay a bunch of guys to continue to load the thing by hand. The Texas skid steer concrete crusher is a feat of fantastic engineering.
A demolition skid steer attachment and a skid steer loader can be the perfect combination for heavy demolition work. The skid steer loader has a protective cage, optional airless tires, and nearly infinite maneuverability to be an unstoppable force on a demo site. Best of all, the skid loader is always ready to receive whichever skid steer attachment you choose.
Among the choices is a skid steer attachment that is ideal for demolition work because it is really three separate skid steer attachments and a common control base. It is called the Demolition Shear, and its steel minions are the grapple jaw, the demolition shear, and the concrete pulverizer. The skid steer loader is able to effortlessly lift any of the shear attachments, deliver it to the appropriate place, and begin using it right away. The controls for each of the shears are accessible directly from the cab of the skid steer loader, so the operator does not need to replace the controls of his or her machine, nor switch to an external set of controls when the shears are to be used.
The grapple jaw set attachment will grab and hold, load or drag just about anything with its 32-inch opening, and is an ideal skid steer attachment for the scrap yard, demolition, or concrete demo and clean-up. The demolition shear jaw attachment is fearsome as well. With 75 tons of bite force at the apex of the shear and an opening of 12 inches, this set of jaws can tear through rebar and scrap steel, which is essential for any demolition operation. Any skid steer attachment called the concrete pulverizer has got to be amazing in the field. This thing has been designed to bite through concrete and rebar up to 14 inches thick, and has 120 tons of crushing power.
When things like steel pipe, rebar, concrete slabs, metal poles and bar stock are just too big or long to be moved and must be broken up into manageable bits, the demolition shear is the attachment to use.
The people at Skidsteersolutions.com realize that there are many ways to run a business. They know there are a lot of things that make an online equipment company lucrative and successful. But there are only a few things that will cause customers to return when they need something and to tell others about their experience.
QUALITY
Skidsteersolutions.com has been providing the highest quality skid steer equipment to landscapers, farmers, ranchers and construction crews all over the globe for almost 20 years. With a demanding approach to well-made skid steer attachments and accessories, the company has built a loyal following. And a few critics. But the products, from the impeccably constructed range of buckets and scoops to the incredibly useful over-the-tire tracks to the pumps and augers and plows, really do speak for themselves. It it hard to land on a page of the Skidsteersolutions.com site that doesn’t challenge customers to compare the quality of their equipment to others before they buy.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
The vast majority of product manufacturers and distributors know that all they need do to stay in the black is to sell their product, to get it out the door and into the hands of the consumer. Anything that occurs after the initial sale is not important. The Skidsteersolutions.com team has never seen that as an option. Another challenge they make to their customers is to call them any time and expect that someone will attend to their issue in an appropriate way. As a matter of fact, a growing number of the innovative new products found on the Skidsteersolutions.com site come from direct customer contact, ideas for new products come from customers who have been treated well and have a working relationship with Skidsteersolutions.com.
COMMITMENT
The number of online businesses has continued to grow astronomically since the late 90s. But the number of online wholesalers and retailers who operate according to proven standards and principles doesn’t compare. The practices of high-pressure sales and advertising make some companies more money by enticing and confusing buyers. And it would be easy to cheat a customer out of a few thousand dollars by shipping inferior machinery 1500 miles across the US. But Skidsteersolutions.com builds and sells the good stuff for a fair price with only the facts at hand.
There are many reasons to buy a good quality skid steer machine and accessories. But you only need to know of a few reasons to buy from the team at Skidsteersolutions.com: quality, customer service, and commitment to good values and principles.
Skid steer tracks might seem superfluous, especially if you spend a lot of time with tires on flat, dry surfaces. It’s easy to forget how muddy and slippery it can get in spring, when the snow has melted and the rain comes. Some days, it’s as though the whole Earth has turned to mud.
There are essentially three types of skid steer tracks available: steel, rubber, and urethane. And while each has its pros and cons, you will find that among these OTT, or over-the-tire skid steer tracks, the most versatile is the Solideal rubber track set. They come in single lug increments of 26 to 34, and are either 10 or 12 inches in size.
Rubber OTT tracks offer a truly enhanced tracking experience over the standard skid steer wheel-set. They still allow for the perfect pivoting that skid steer machines are famous for, but in wet, grainy sand and everything but the steepest, slickest goo that the earth and the weather can dish out, rubber tracks are life-savers.
They can also be used in all of the residential areas that steel skid steer tracks cannot: they are harmless to sidewalks and drives, and perform even better than stock wheels on grassy areas as the weight of the machine is distributed over a larger contact area.
As mentioned, no one track system out-performs another on every task. Each has its own strengths and each shines in a different set of applications. All of the varieties, however, are similar in one area: any set of skid steer tracks that you choose for your machine adds a bit of width to the wheel and height from the ground.
So when fitting the appropriate set of tracks, it is vital that you observe the necessary tolerances all the way around. With a little bit of logic and planning, rubber skid steer tracks might be one of the smartest investments a skid steer owner can make.
Used skid steer equipment, or new? You wouldn’t believe the way people disagree on the subject. It’s the same as it is with automobiles. Some people think it is ridiculous to sink tens of thousands of dollars into a depreciating item while others insist on not purchasing “other peoples’ problems.”
But the question of whether buying used skid steer attachments is a good idea or not is easily answered: yes. Used equipment is generally a good idea, but with one or two caveats. If the used equipment is obviously irreparably damaged or has been subjected to unusual abuse, it might be a good idea to leave it be. And if the same used skid steer equipment is being offered for close to new prices for the same items, let common sense prevail.
But as it is, most skid steer owners are pragmatic by nature. So, there are at least a few reasons to consider used skid steer equipment.
1) BUDGET – Used equipment is always an option for the frugal business owner, as it is generally cheaper than the new stuff.
2) TRY IT OUT – Trying out a used piece can be a great way to determine if it is a necessity for the type of work at hand, but would be better to own than rent in the long run.
3) THE GOOD STUFF – Used skid steer equipment from Skid Steer Solutions was the best when it was new. And many of the demos, returns and prototypes you will find on the web site will be as good or better than the new equipment offered by other stores.
If you are in the market for skid steer attachments this spring or summer, don’t assume that new is better than the used skid steer equipment. See what you need for the seasonm what your budget can handle. And save some money whenever you can.
A Bobcat skid steer being used by the county or state road team will also need safe, durable, and useful attachments that make short work of the long grass, weeds and brush along public roads.
BRUSH MOWER
The best designs will be able to extend into those hidden gulleys and overgrown ditches, and take down the brush, weeds and grass easily. They will give the skid steer operator full control over the angle and swing of the attachment, without worrying about tipping over.
FLAIL MOWER
Equipped with a double liner design, flail mowers come in a number of different sizes: 48-, 60-, 72-, as well as 84-inch widths. These Bobcat attachments come with as many as 52 reversible, high-density flail knives inside of those different enclosure widths. The knives are able to handle plant material up to an inch thick.
CLEARING MOWER
If a skid steer owner needs a 60 inch-wide mower for the gnarliest brush clearing operations, these clearing mower attachments can clean out a previously unused portion of a piece of land or turn an overgrown parcel into a commercial construction endeavor.
SICKLE MOWER
The sickle mower attachments have been called the magic wand for angled roadsides or ditches. The sickle bar attaches to the boom of the Bobcat skid steer and reaches off to the side. It is light and can be angled to accommodate the contour of almost any berm.
BOOM MOWER
These boom – mounted mower attachments, with an optional 36″ rotary flail cutting deck or a 5 foot hydraulically powered sickle, have been specifically built for the Bobcat skid steer. They run on Bobcat skid steer loaders rated at at least 60 horsepower, and that have a minimum flow of 17 gpm.
Each of these Bobcat skid steer attachments will make its mark with ease. They just need to be carried into battle attached to the formidable Bobcat skid steer to get their work done.
Flat-proof skid steer tires installed on a skid loader means you can count on years of dependable performance. Because nails, screws, jagged metal, our rapier wit, and other sharp objects are everywhere you take your machine, resistance is, as they say, futile. Flat-proof skid steer tires let you work in peace, and eTerra flat-proof tires are the perfect thing to keep you from having to change a tire in the middle of a work day.
With so much talk in the skid steer arena about the dozens and hundreds of attachments, skid steer owners easily forget about the most essential parts of a skid steer loader: tires. A good quality set of flat-proof tires can be counted on to roll onto a demolition yard or scrap yard — or anywhere else giant jagged metal can be found — and handle the debris and terrain without worrying about a flat.
With more rubber added to the base of the tread and widely-spaced holes for better tread support, these flat-proof skid steer tires have been specially designed for heavy demolition work and gnarly scrap yards. They have an unusually large, heavy tread surface for the toughest of work site conditions. These skid steer tires have been made to outlive regular flat-proof tires largely because there is simply more material between the machine and the earth.
These flat-proof skid steer tires are not really to be used in heavy or deep mud, however. They are equipped with better support that cuts down on the instance of cracking, but the tread pattern is not deep enough to effectively pull the skid steer out of the goo. That said, though, eTerra flat-proof skid steer tires are made to accept add-on skid steer tracks, and even have sufficient meat to resist tearing their edges when the tracks are installed.
So you really can take them anywhere, without worrying that a nail will ruin screw up the fun. (See, we told you we had a rapier wit.)
A skid steer loader wasn’t the start of it all. It was a jack hammer.
A jack hammer that helped us create one of the most fearsome, fastest post drivers we’ve ever had the pleasure to sell.
There was a man who owned a jack hammer (just like the ones construction teams make the rookies use for eight hours straight on the first day), and he got tired of replacing the steel pin every time it got worn flat.
So he cupped out the steel on the tip, attached the hammer to the boom of his skid steer loader, and started driving fence posts with the rig. Eventually, someone refined the tool, and the mounted pneumatic post-driver was born.
The tool itself is a high-quality, reinforced steel attachment that can be attached to the skid steer loader and toted anywhere the skid steer loader owner chooses to go. The skid steer loader attachment itself makes use of a high impact, gas-charged concrete breaker power cell with a specially adapted mount and cup and the effect of the tool is amazing. It really does install fence posts of many sizes quickly and easily, without the back-breaking, hand-shredding manual labor.
There have been many improvements over the years, and of the most important are: there are now no rubber mounts to wear out and break, and there a universal cup that will accommodate almost any size fence post, and so it keeps you from having to buy other cups.
In addition, there are models available that use an existing tilt cylinder so that the skid loader operator can change the post driver’s angle. There is also a model that features the powered “Tilt-Tach” equipment, so that if you are installing fence posts on the grade of a hill, you can have up to an 18 degree angle from side to side.
Ingenuity and innovation brought this skid steer loader attachment into being. Now you get to take it to the fields and keep your cows from running away.
Bobcat attachments and hurricanes are sometimes the furthest thing from people’s minds this time of year. With Spring Break and all of its trappings, sometimes it is hard for people to remember. It was not too long ago that some of the worst hurricanes in history wreaked havoc on many of the most beautiful vacation destinations on the planet.
When a location has been hit hard by hurricanes, tornadoes, or any kind of natural disaster, it is never easy to recover. But there are a few Bobcat attachments that can make digging out a lot easier.
Backhoes are essential Bobcat attachments for almost any kind of work, but the ingenious feature of some models has to be its hydraulic thumb. A backhoe can be used as a long-reaching grapple, moving rocks and debris while staying out of potentially dangerous areas.
The manure bucket is one of the only Bobcat attachments that acts just like a giant pitchfork. With replaceable steel tines at the front, the manure bucket makes sifting fallen building debris and other large items out of more granular material like sand, soil, and hay a quicker and more thorough process. Sure, there’s not a lot of manure around after a hurricane, but it makes cleaning up large piles of debris, but some of our farm customers tell us it’s useful for hauling out large animal carcasses too.
The Pallet Fork is one of the only Bobcat attachments whose job it is to pick up, move, and elevate loads of almost any product that is to be arranged on top of wooden pallets. It can deliver sand bags to a flood area, or food and water to a storm ravaged area.
One of the best Bobcat attachments for disaster clean-up is the grapple attachment. This heavy-duty steel bucket that will simply drag or carry and relocate bigger pieces of downed building material, as well as long pieces of siding, plywood, sheets of fiberboard or even metal.
It is never pleasant to clean up after a hurricane or tornado, but with these Bobcat attachments, it’s possible to make short work of it and make life easier.
A Bobcat skidsteer is one of the best machines for mowing grasses and brush with a boom-type mower. With its wide track and nimble maneuverability, the Bobcat skidsteer can take your mowing operations to a whole new level. The BM-20 Sickle Mower will give your Bobcat skidsteer serious bite when to comes to taking out the weeds, light brush, as well as the overgrown grasses in any area: from private homes and commercial landscapes to roadway growth and grass medians.
With a sickle mower attached to your skidsteer loader, you will be able to use the articulating boom to not just mow the grass and weeds growing out of control along the ground, but it can also be used to trim privacy hedges and noise-reducing hedges at virtually any angle. The power to trim and cut right from the boom of the Bobcat skidsteer makes this mower one of the most versatile and convenient mowers on the market. And the speed with which you can get the job done is outstanding.
There is no need to change your Bobcat equipment, or even to change attachments to go from one trimming operation to the next. The Sickle Mower has an open face cutter design and has no trouble tackling fine brush. Attached to the skidsteer, this attachment has excellent reach and heavy-duty durability.
The cutters are inexpensive to buy parts for, and amazingly this Bobcat skidsteer attachment can even be used for underwater operations! It is approved for submersion in ponds in order to cut back unwanted aquatic vegetation. Also available is a special adapter that allows you to mount an excavator or backhoe coupler to it and use it on those machines as well.
You may use it on your Bobcat skidsteer, but this mower has been designed so that it can be incredibly useful on a large number of machines.
