Skidsteer Loader
Unconventional Usage for Skidsteer Attachments
Many skidsteer attachments are the result of ad hoc innovation while using a tool in an unusual way. The skidsteer loader, as you already know, is not a conventional machine in any way. So a lot of skidsteer attachments have been invented as a result of the need to improve the unconventional use of a tool.
The post driver is a great example of these adapted skidsteer attachments. After prolonged use, the pointed tip of the concrete breaker attachment gets dull. These tips are replaceable because the steel that is used to make them, no matter how strong, eventually becomes too rounded over to grab into the hard stuff. This happened to a particular skidsteer owner not too long ago, and instead of throwing out the old tip, he got an idea.
The pneumatics of the concrete breaker still worked fine. And the tip was not bent or cracked, it was just too dull. So, removing the steel shaft, he machined the worn tip into a kind of cup. Then, after re-shaping the tip, he reconnected the whole attachment to his skidsteer loader. Raising the boom up high, he found that he had made what he says is one of the most powerful and efficient post drivers he has ever used. It’s one of the most ingenious adaptations of skidsteer attachments we’ve seen, and one we’ve been happy to sell ever since.
Someone else came up with three great reasons to combine an auger attachment and a cement mixing bowl: first, the spinning motion of the auger drive is needed to turn cement and keep it soft prior to pouring; second, the crew that uses an auger attachment to dig precise holes in the ground will inevitably need to anchor their support posts and poles in concrete. So it only makes sense to put the two together, and save on the costs of buying two separate skidsteer attachments.
An ingenious solution: the auger drive of these skidsteer attachments is pointed toward the ground, of course, but this new product has a flippable hitch that allows the spinning shaft to be upturned, secured, and then inserted into the cement bowl.
There are many inventions that start with unconventional use of simple skidsteer attachments. Bales of grass, straw, and other crops in rural communities need to be stacked, stored, and moved around. The Bale Spear is a pair of sharp fork tines for poking the bale and putting it in a barn or the back of a truck. But a single-tine spear can also be used for huge spools of wire, flexible drain pipe, and cable. The Bale Spear is one of those skidsteer attachments that perform brilliantly in all of these circumstances.
The skidsteer seems to inspire unconventional problem solving. But that always seems to lead to something good, just like these three skidsteer attachments. What can you come up with for your skidsteer loader?
