Skid steers are construction, forestry, and mine-clearing equipment that eliminates unwanted growth. The skid steering wheels work with a hitch that can slide on rails, or skids, to move dirt and other material.
Construction companies often use skid steers to clear large land areas in a short period without heavy machinery or massive manpower. The work is done by operators who work from a skid steer and use tongs to grab the brush/log in front of them.
Skid steers excel at clearing heavy logs out of forests, branches off fallen trees, and overgrown grass or moss with their powerful engines. Mulching attachments enable skid steers to level trees, stumps, and other foliage.
Skid steers can be used in land clearing and forestry applications by skidding trees. When skidded, a tree is brought down, and the stump is ground out. It’s also possible to skid the entire log, which will leave a pile of logs ready for transport or processing on site.
A skid steer is generally outfitted with grapples for skidding logs. It may be required to use wench dogs connected to pulley systems and various kinds of grapples to raise significant weights off the ground. Lighter types of grapples typically only require bulldozer blades as lever arms when using “up-and-over” skidding.
Skidding-steer skis, skid shoes, and/or skidding plates are required for heavy-duty jobs. The skids are placed behind the front section of the loader arms to allow dragging logs or other items across the ground without gouging them up.
Extensive skidding applications also employ walk-behind skid steers to skid logs as well. This is achieved by sliding the log or pile of logs across the ground and sending it to wherever it needs to go at a slower pace than high-speed skidding.
Additionally, skid steer land clearing can be further aided by mulching attachments and brush cutters that will aid in the removal of dense trees and brush.
Skid steers are powerful machines that can clear land quickly and efficiently. The skid steer is the perfect tool for land clearing because it halves the time it usually takes to clear an area. Clearances can be completed in less than one day, including harvesting trees, stumps, or debris from the newly cleared space.
In terms of speed, skid steers have no equal when it comes to clearing land due to their agility. Other heavy machinery may not be able to move as quickly or reach tight spots. Skid steers have six wheels that make sharp turns on slopes and uneven surfaces with ease. Simply put, skid steers are versatile machines when moving around rough terrain like hillsides with extreme inclines while simultaneously clearing land.
However, skid steers are not just good at moving around on rugged terrain; they also excel in productivity. Skid steer loaders make it easy for land clearing to be completed much more quickly since they can achieve large jobs with a single operator instead of other heavy machinery that would require a team of professionals.
Skid steer loaders never get tired since their loads are perfectly dispersed across all of the wheels. Additionally, they also have a fantastic turning radius and acceleration. Backbreaking tasks, such as felling trees, can be done quickly and easily with skid steer land clearing.
There are many benefits to using skid steer land clearing equipment. First, skid steers are very affordable and cost-efficient. They are incredibly safe to operate since skid steer loaders have a low side profile. This minimizes the potential for injury during operation and makes skid steers more ergonomic than other heavy machinery.
Skid steers require little maintenance due to their simple design, making them perfect machines for contractors who want to complete land clearance projects without taking too much time. Finally, skid steers can be used in a variety of land clearing applications.
