You need a compact loader. Maybe for cleaning barns. Maybe for moving gravel. Maybe for grabbing logs at a sawmill. The question is: wheeled or tracked? And where can you find a factory-direct skid steer loader that actually fits your work?
Let us walk through the real differences. No marketing fluff. Just numbers and experience from machines we have shipped to Ghana, Poland, and dozens of other countries.
First, Ask Yourself: What Are You Scooping?
The answer decides everything.
- Manure, feed, silage, grain → wheeled machines are fine. You work on hard ground or concrete.
- Mud, sand, loose soil, snow → tracks give you floatation. A track skid steer won‘t sink.
- Logs, heavy timber, scrap metal → you need hydraulic grabbing attachments. Both wheel and track work, but track gives more stability.
- Construction debris, brick, concrete → wheels are cheaper and faster on hard surfaces.
Our customers use these loaders for: loading trucks, feeding grain bins, cleaning coal yards, scooping cow dung, moving hay bales, clearing construction waste, basement cleanup, scrap yards, feeding concrete mixers, sand yards, and aggregate handling. A factory direct skid steer loader can do all of that — with the right attachment.
Wheeled Models: W45 And W65
These two are your go‑to for hard surfaces and lower cost.
| Model | Operating load | Engine power | Weight | Bucket capacity |
| W45 | 700 kg | 36.7 kW | 3766 kg | 0.4 m³ |
| W65 | 1050 kg | 55 kW | 4498 kg | 0.5 m³ |
Both reach a top speed of 10 km/h. Fuel tanks are 70L (W45) and 75L (W65). The W65 has a higher rated hydraulic flow (89 L/min vs 80 L/min) — important if you run heavy attachments like a sweeper or snow blower.
If your daily work is on flat, hard ground (feedlots, concrete yards, paved roads), the wheeled factory direct skid steer loader will serve you well. Tires are cheaper to replace than tracks. And the machine is simpler to maintain.
Tracked Models: T50 And T65
Need traction in mud, snow, or loose soil? Go with a track skid steer.
| Model | Operating load | Engine power | Weight | Bucket capacity |
| T50 | 700 kg | 45 kW | 4074 kg | 0.4 m³ |
| T65 | 1000 kg | 55 kW | 5024 kg | 0.5 m³ |
Tracked machines are heavier — the T65 weighs over 5 tons. But the tracks spread that weight over a larger area. Ground pressure is much lower than that of wheels. You won‘t sink into soft ground.
The T65 has a top speed of 12 km/h (faster than wheeled models). Tracked loaders also have better rollback angles — so you lose less material when scooping.
However, tracks wear faster on concrete. And replacement tracks cost more than tyres. So a track skid steer is not always the answer. Match the undercarriage to your surface.
Attachments: The Real Magic
A factory direct skid steer loader is just a power unit. The attachment makes it useful.
We offer:
- Standard bucket
- Grapple/log grab
- Pallet forks
- Rotating grapple
- Snow blade/broom
- Stone fork/marble carrier
- Multi‑purpose bucket
You can also get a “two‑in‑one” machine (front attachment + rear backhoe) or a telescopic boom for extra reach. Tell us what you handle most. We will suggest the right combination.
Electric Or Diesel? Options Available
Most customers want diesel. We have EPA‑certified engines for export to the US. But we also offer electric drive loaders — quiet, zero emissions, ideal for indoor use (food processing, warehouses, greenhouses). Specify your preference when ordering.
Packaging And Delivery
We pack every factory direct skid steer loader in a standard export wooden crate. Delivery time is usually 2‑3 weeks, depending on the model and current orders. The machine comes fully assembled — you just add fuel/charge batteries and attach the bucket.
One More Question: What Is Your Unloading Height?
Some customers forget to ask this. Then they receive the loader and realise it cannot dump into their grain truck or slurry spreader.
Check the specs above: dumping height ranges from 1990mm (T50) to 2410mm (W65). If you need 2.5 meters or more, we can modify the lift arms — but that is a custom build. Tell us early.

| Best for | Hard surface, light-medium | Hard surface, heavy | Soft ground, narrow spaces | Soft ground, heavy |
Bottom line: A factory direct skid steer loader from our range gives you factory prices, no middlemen, and full support. Choose a wheel for hard ground and lower operating costs. Choose a track skid steer for soft ground, better traction, and heavier digging. Either way, tell us your material, your space, and your unloading height. We will send you the right machine.
