When you're turning logs into firewood, the first big decision is whether to go with a standalone splitter or a combined cutter-and-splitter setup. A standalone splitter does one job — splitting pre-cut logs. A cutter-and-splitter or processor attachment combines cutting, splitting, and sometimes conveying into...

Log splitters for skid steers come in four main mechanical configurations, and each one handles logs differently. Hydraulic wedge splitters use a cylinder to push a wedge through the wood; inverted splitters do the same but from above; cone and screw designs rotate into the log to split it. The right choice depends...

Picking a log splitter for your skid steer comes down to matching three things: your machine's hydraulic output, the size and species of logs you split most, and how much firewood you need to produce. A splitter that's too weak will stall on oak rounds; one that's too big for your machine will cycle slo...

Mounting a stump grinder to a skid steer turns a standard machine into a dedicated stump-removal tool. Unlike walk-behind or self-propelled grinders that require a separate operator and transport, a skid steer attachment uses the machine's lift, tilt, and auxiliary hydraulics to position the cutting wheel preci...

Hydraulic flow is the single most important spec when pairing a stump grinder with a skid steer. Standard-flow and high-flow attachments are built for different hydraulic output ranges, and picking the wrong one leads to slow grinding, overheating, and early component failure. Knowing how flow affects stump-grindin...

Picking the right stump grinder starts with your skid steer's hydraulic output and the size of stumps you grind most often. A unit that's undersized for your machine will grind slowly and frustrate your crew; one that's too large can overload the system and shorten component life. This guide covers the ...

On loose gravel and fresh soil, a standard land leveler does a fine job. But hard-packed surfaces—the kind you find on older driveways, farm lanes, and construction sites—tend to resist the cutting edge. A land leveler with a scarifier solves that by putting a row of hardened teeth ahead of the blade, so you can br...

Picking the right land leveler for your skid steer comes down to three things: your machine's size, the surfaces you grade most often, and how precise the finish needs to be. An attachment that's too wide for a compact machine will leave uneven strips, while one that's too narrow slows you down on large...

You need a snow pusher that fits your machine, your snow, and your site. Get the width wrong and you'll either bog down in heavy snow or leave too much ground to cover. Pick the wrong cutting edge and you'll damage pavement — or spend all day fighting obstacles. This guide breaks down the key decisions: wid...

Hydraulics are what make a skid steer snow blower work — they drive the auger, the impeller, and the chute rotation. Get the match right, and you get reliable performance, good throwing distance, and long component life. Get it wrong, and you'll deal with slow auger speed, weak throwing, clogging, premature mot...
