What moves a skid steer's price

Hours count more on skid steers than on tractors, because they work hard every hour. Around 3,000 hours buyers start pricing one as high-hour.

Track loaders bring more than wheeled machines of the same size, but worn tracks and undercarriage are expensive, so buyers check them closely. Extra attachments — bucket, forks, grapple — help it sell.

Bobcat, Caterpillar, John Deere, Kubota and Case hold value well. A cab with heat and air, two-speed and pilot controls all add money.

Common questions

How many hours is a lot on a skid steer?
Around 3,000 hours buyers start treating a skid steer as high-hour. Well-kept machines can run much longer, but the price reflects the wear.
Are track loaders worth more than wheeled skid steers?
Yes, usually. But undercarriage wear is expensive to fix, so a track machine with worn tracks can sell for less than a clean wheeled one.
Do attachments add value to a skid steer?
Yes. A bucket, forks and a grapple included in the sale make it more attractive and usually add to the price.
