A mini skid steer, also known as a compact utility loader (CUL) or mini track loader (if equipped with tracks), is a smaller and more maneuverable version of a traditional skid steer loader. These machines are designed to perform a wide variety of tasks in confined spaces where larger equipment cannot easily operate. Despite their smaller size, they retain significant power and versatility through the use of various attachments.

Skid steer attachments are versatile tools designed to increase the functionality of a skid steer loader, transforming it into a multi-purpose machine capable of handling a wide array of tasks across various industries like construction, landscaping, agriculture, and snow removal. These attachments connect to the skid steer's hydraulic arms via a universal quick-attach system, allowing for rapid and easy switching between different tools.
