This Specialized Skid Steer Auger Bit Is the Next-Best Thing to a Stump Grinder
You know what’s one thing that many skid steer auger attachments are used for? Planting trees. To that point, we sell wide, tree-planting bits that are specifically designed to dig holes wide enough for root balls.But what’s one thing that a skid steer auger drive conventionally can’t do? Dig out old stumps - which is unfortunate, because orchards and tree farms understandably will have an occasional need to do just that.Now, we sell skid steer attachments that are specifically designed for easy compatibility with most major makes and models of skid steers, so you can probably drop your auger drive off your skid steer and outfit your machine with one of our stump buckets or stump grinders.But you don’t need to do that, whether or not you have a stump to grind. You can use the very auger drive unit you have on your skid steer, with a specialized skid steer auger bit that will get the job done.Enter Spartan Equipment Stump Planer BitsMost skid steer auger bits are designed to dig holes, but our skid steer planer bits are designed for one thing and one thing only - making quick, short work of gnarled stumps.Granted, a stump bucket or grinder is a great attachment and will also get the job done, but if you don’t have one of these, a skid steer auger drive with a stump planer bit is a close second.Our stump planer bits consist of three tool-steel cutting blades and a starter tip. All of these components can be sharpened or replaced as needed throughout the life of the tool.Use is simple as can be; just position the stump planer over the stump you wish to remove and drive it downward. The pilot starter tip feeds the auger all the way through the stump, pulling it down, ensuring even grinding and preventing the bit from walking.Moreover, the cutters have guides on the trailing edges that eliminate jumping back out of the hole, and the bit is designed so as not to overload itself and not to get stuck as it works. Binding can be a problem with some bits but it tends not to b... READ MORE »

Unconventional Uses for Skid Steer Buckets (and Features to Look for)
Everyone knows you can use a skid steer bucket for excavation, which makes them ubiquitous on construction sites and among road crews. Likewise, it’s common knowledge that you can use bucket attachments for skid steers to load, move and handle loose materials. They’re also commonly used to clear snow and ice, making them popular attachments for snow removal crews.But what else can you use a skid steer bucket for? Well, let’s take a closer look at some of these somewhat less than conventional uses.Uses for Skid Steer BucketsIf you’re wondering about other ways your crew’s bucket attachments can pull their weight, here are some of the best of them.GradingLandscaping crews, take note. Bucket attachments aren’t just good for digging holes. They can also be used for grading and profiling that land, which makes them useful for re-working the lay of the land, for constructing earthworks and for re-doing the appearance of an outdoor setting.BackfillingWhile a dedicated trench backfiller attachment can be beneficial, especially if all your crews do is dig trenches and fill in old ones, a bucket can handle the job in a pinch. Working forward to push spoil back into the trench or dragging the bucket backwards to help backfill can both get the job done. A backfiller is faster, but a bucket will work in a pinch.CompactingGranted, with a bucket you can’t compact to the level needed to stabilize the soil prior to pouring footings or anything like that, but you can still get a lot of loose air out of the dirt and help it settle so you won’t have soupy mud the next time it rains. Just bringing the bucket down on earth can help compact it, just like a tamper. If you don’t have a vibratory compactor, a bucket is better than nothing.Transporting Root BallsJust as a bucket excels in materials handling, so too does it excel at transporting fairly large, heavy loads, and that makes it perfect for transporting root balls. As in nearly every other case here, there are better, more specializ... READ MORE »
