Should I Buy a Skid Steer or Compact Track Loader?

Loaders are a highly sought after piece of heavy machinery for construction sites. They are able to handle an impressive amount of work in an efficient amount of time. Two common types of loaders are skid steers and compact track loaders. Both are hard-working and durable options, but their key difference lies in the way they move. Skid steers rely on tires while compact track loaders rely on tracks. The right option for your business depends on various factors, which we discuss below. When you are ready to explore skid steers or compact track loaders for sale, visit Bobcat of New Hampshire. We are located in Chichester and Hudson, New Hampshire, and we also proudly serve those in Manchester.

What's Your Job Site?

Your first main consideration is your job site. Skid steer loaders work best on harder surfaces, such as concrete and asphalt. The sturdy tires can plow over this terrain with ease. Compact track loaders can go on these job sites, but the firm ground will speed up wear on the tracks.

Compact track loaders will work best on uneven terrain such as muddy or sandy areas. They offer increased stability, which also leads to improved rider comfort. They also cause less damage to the ground, which helps reduce site clean-up time.

What's Your Budget?

Another determining factor is your company's budget. Skid steers cost less upfront, which makes them a great option for companies with a smaller budget. They also tend to be lighter, which makes them less costly to transport.

However, compact track loaders tend to be more affordable when you look at the long-term. They can last several hundred more hours when comparing similar operating situations. Compact track loaders also see less downtime. If ground conditions become unfavorable, a skid steer loader may not be able to be used. A compact track loader, in contrast, would have no problem navigating that worksite. You will be able to keep working, which means you won't be losing money due to downtime.
