A Guide to Skid Steer and Compact Track Loader Attachments

Understand how traction, hydraulic capacity, operating weight, and workflow shape attachment selection.

Compact track loader working with an attachment

Understand how traction, hydraulic capacity, operating weight, and workflow shape attachment selection.

Skid steers and compact track loaders share common attachment categories, but tracks usually transfer more force into the tool. Similar horsepower does not guarantee the same attachment class.

What matters most

Skid steers and compact track loaders share common attachment categories, but tracks usually transfer more force into the tool. Similar horsepower does not guarantee the same attachment class.

Key considerations

  • Rated operating capacity
  • Engine horsepower
  • Tracks versus wheels
  • Standard- or high-flow hydraulics
  • Coupler, controls, and work environment

Put it to work

Select the attachment for its dominant operation, then confirm that the carrier can lift, power, control, and see the tool across its working range.

The ANBO approach

ANBO’s fitment process accounts for machine type and traction along with horsepower, mount, width, and intended work.

Put the right attachment on your machine.

Let ANBO verify the fit.
