Attachments can have a big impact on the overall price of a skid steer, and these quotes from our users don't always mention which attachments were included. We've added [comments] to clarify when possible.
For example, the electrical contractor in Florida who bought a new skid steer for $41,000 probably got several high-end attachments: a trencher, cold planer, or other complex tool.
You can also see the relative costs of new and used skid steers in these quotes. There's a larger range for used machines, depending on their condition and age, but for businesses looking to save money, buying reconditioned is certainly worth investigation.
Unless otherwise noted, these quotes are all on the popular 1,750 - 2,200 lb class of skid steers.
