Get attached: Skid-steer attachments increase productivity and strengthen the bottom line

摘要

James Holt has never met a skid-steer attachment he didn't like. Holts company, All Around Town of the Davenport/Quad Cities areas of Iowa, maintains the grounds of three hospitals through exclusive contracts. The hospitals' modern campus-like settings, complete with patios, retaining walls and heavy snowfall, necessitates that Holt have myriad attachments, all at the ready for their site-specific tasks. Craig Wendt, though, likes to keep it simple. "Our primary attachments are obviously the bucket,pallet forks and we also use the planer bars for grading," says the co-owner of Valley Landscaping in Fargo, N.D., "We pretty much do just about everything from the installation of sod, trees and shrubs to basically everything else on new construction."
