Skid Steer Loaders for Agriculture & Forestry

Typical tasks

• Feed handling — Moving feed, silage and supplements around the yard and into troughs.
• Barn cleaning — Clearing bedding, manure and waste from livestock housing.
• Land grading — Levelling paddocks, tracks and yards.
• Fence-post drilling — Earth auger attachment for fast, accurate post installation.
• Bale handling — Grapple and fork attachments for moving round and square bales.
• Forestry clearance — Clearing debris, brash and vegetation from working areas.

What to look for on a farm

Farm use is seasonal but intense. The same machine that cleans out a poultry shed in one month may be loading grain or clearing fence lines the next, so versatility matters more than peak performance in any single task.

• Shed and yard work: a narrow machine with a low cab entry point clears livestock housing and feed passages other loaders cannot reach.
• Material handling: pallet forks move feed, fertiliser, and seed bags without a second forklift on the property.
• Field preparation: buckets and grapples clear stone, brush, and field edges after harvest.
• Fuel and dust: agricultural duty cycles are long and dusty, so filtration and cooling capacity deserve close attention.

Which machine to choose

Compact wheeled or mini models suit most farm work, where ground is generally firm and space is often tight. Where the farm has soft, wet fields or works through a rainy season, tracked models are the better choice.
