Don’t Let Your Guard Down When Using a Skid Steer

By: Lisa Foust Prater

Skid steers are becoming standard equipment on farms, and with good reason: They make quick work of all kinds of chores, from hauling bags of feed to clearing snow. With the plethora of attachments available and their ability to maneuver in tight spaces, skid steers are invaluable.

If you don’t own one of these small-but-mighty machines for daily chores, you can still rent one for special projects. In either case, it’s important to remember that while skid steers may be fun to operate, they’re still dangerous.
