Mini Skid Steers Reduce Labor Costs

摘要

Mini skid steers are appearing on job sites across the country as contractors discover their exceptional versatility and maneuverability. Landscapers, more than any other industry segment, have embraced the mini skid steer as one small machine, equipped with the right attachments that can perform multiple functions and help to reduce labor needs. "The thing that I still think is driving the interest in mini skid steers is the lack of available labor in the landscape industry," says Jon Kuyers, utility product segment manager for Vermeer. "The landscape industry is labor-intensive, and contractors find that employee retention can be difficult. If the general laborer can make more money per hour on another less labor-intensive job, they will probably leave."
