A skid steer becomes a forestry system through the attachments mounted to it.
The right lineup depends on whether the work focuses on vegetation removal, material handling, ground preparation, or finished grading.
Build the attachment lineup around the workflow
Grapple rakes and root grapples handle logs, roots, and slash; mulchers and cutters reduce vegetation; buckets, rakes, augers, trenchers, and blades prepare or finish the ground.
Key considerations
- Grapple rake
- Root grapple
- Forestry mulcher or brush cutter
- Rock bucket or rake
- Dozer blade
- Auger
- Trencher
- Stump tool
- General-purpose bucket
Prioritize the attachment used most
For many crews, a grapple becomes the everyday handling tool because it moves irregular material safely and keeps the carrier productive between specialized operations.
Match every tool to the carrier
Hydraulic flow, horsepower, operating weight, lift capacity, coupler, protection, and jobsite conditions must be checked for each attachment.
