Skidders and Compact Loaders Leverage Versatility for Profitability

摘要

You have only to watch TV commercials or run to your local hardware or tool crib to see what's going on with power tools. What you find happening at the hand tool level is happening as well at the Big Boy equipment level, at least with compact loaders, mini loaders and skid steers. Just as the power hand tool market touts the ability to attach many different functioning heads, along with increased tool power to attack so many more jobs often in smaller power packages, so, too, do the skidders, mini and compact loaders. All three are powerful carriers for hydraulic-powered tools, albeit at three levels. The skidders are more powerful than the compact loaders, which in turn out perform the minis. The minis, though, are famous for being able to get a hydraulic powerhouse through the proverbial garden gate and into some very tight areas.
