Best Skid Steer Attachments for Winter

Arguably the greatest thing about having a skid loader as a part of your crew’s equipment is that these little machines are so wonderfully versatile.

For our part, we elevate that versatility to an art form with skid steer attachments that are compatible with most major makes and models.

They’re also particularly great in the winter, since their weight and excellent traction make them better in the snow than even most trucks.

With that said, here are some of the top skid steer attachments for winter from our catalog. If your crews deal with a lot of snow and ice in the colder months, you might want to equip your crew’s machine with one of the following

Snow Pusher Attachments

Probably the single best all-around skid steer attachment for winter, snow pusher attachments are optimized for basically one thing: moving and consolidating massive piles of snow, with ease and efficiency.

Available in multiple sizes, our snow pusher attachments for skid steers have larger volumes than comparable buckets and are made with special, thick rubber edges that make them perfect for clearing snow from paved surfaces without gouging the pavement.

If you clear a lot of parking lots or other wide open spaces of snow, there is no better skid steer attachment for winter.

Skid Steer Dozer Blades

After snow pushers, dozer blades are probably the next best thing. While snow pushers are better at consolidating, dozers might take the edge (no pun intended) when it comes to easily clearing a path. A skiller operator can also use them for consolidating piles. By the way, any skid steer dozer blades are better than none, but we also make specialized snow dozer blades which are specifically designed for easy and efficient snow removal.

Skid Steer Bucket Attachments

Skid steer bucket attachments are probably the most versatile attachments overall, because they are great for snow removal and consolidating piles, but they’re great at other times of year too.

Get a heavy-duty snow bucket if you need one for dedicated snow removal, but any of our other bucket attachments can be highly useful, and moreover, can also be used for landscaping, materials handling, and excavation at other times of year.

Skid Steer Snowblower Attachments

When you need to clear snow fast, and throw it out of the way, well then skid steer snowblower attachments get the top spot.

Highly specialized but for the purpose of snow removal, our hydraulically powered snowblower skid steer attachments (available in multiple sizes and GPM ratings) can throw snow between 45 and 75 feet. They’re perfect for large-scale commercial snow removal over a wide area.

They also offer excellent visibility, have adjustable skid shoes, and don’t require case drains.

Angle Brooms

These skid steer attachments are actually not designed for snow removal, but in a pinch they make excellent wintertime attachments.

Skid steer angle brooms excel at light snow removal, especially over wide open spaces. Whether you have a lane you need to clear or just need to sweep off a lot to make way for some light traffic, angle brooms are an excellent option.

Plus, they’re also good for bunk, lot, hangar, and street sweeping and other general purpose applications throughout the rest of the year,

Skid Steer Spreader Attachments

This one’s a niche one, but there’s a good use for it. While our skid steer spreader attachments are actually designed for spreader feed and seed, they can also be used for spreading salt and sand to add traction on slick surfaces and combat ice accumulation during periods of freezing temperatures, or during thaw and refreeze cycles.

This makes them ideal for road crews, but for anyone that has a skid steer with a spread for seed, feed, or distributing other loose materials, they’re also excellent as impromptu sand and salt spreaders in the winter.

Bonus: Cab Heaters

Technically this isn’t a skid steer attachment so much as it’s an accessory, but our cab heaters pay for themselves during the colder months anyway.

We offer two 12V skid steer cab heaters, a 30 amp and a 50 amp version. Both utilize a polymer heating element enclosed in a quartz tube that protects it against moisture and other harsh conditions.

Powerful, energy efficient, and designed to stand up to the worst of the worst operating conditions, these are among the best cab heaters in the industry. Say no more to freezing temperatures with one of our cab heaters, which like our skid steer attachments will Never Surrender.

All of our skid steer attachments for winter (like all of our attachments) are made in the United States using American steel only, never cheap Chinese imports. They are designed for easy compatibility with most major makes and models of skid steer and will Never Surrender.
