Skid Steer Attachment Guide: Matching Hydraulic Flow, PSI & Quick-Attach Plates

Maximize your skid steer's ROI by pairing it with the correct attachments. Learn standard vs high flow requirements, planetary augers, skeleton buckets, grapples, and hydraulic hammers.

Skid Steer Attachment Guide: Matching Hydraulic Flow, PSI & Quick-Attach Plates

A compact loader is only as profitable as the attachments it powers. Equipping your skid steer with the proper work tools allows a single machine to drill foundation footings in the morning, sort demolition debris at noon, and grade finished sub-base by afternoon.

1. Matching Hydraulic Flow (GPM) & Pressure (PSI)

Before investing in powered hydraulic attachments, verify your machine's hydraulic output:

  • Standard Flow (10–16 GPM @ 2,500 PSI): Ideal for standard auger drives, grapples, and hydraulic thumbs.
  • High Flow (18–25+ GPM @ 3,000 PSI): Required for high-production trenchers, heavy hydraulic breakers, cold planers, and mulchers. Running a high-flow tool on an undersized pump causes stalling and hydraulic oil overheating.
  • Production track loaders like the STOMP V950 feature high-output auxiliary hydraulics engineered to handle demanding continuous-duty attachments.

    2. Essential Skid Steer Attachments

    A. Planetary Auger Drives

    Planetary gear reduction augers deliver high torque for boring straight post holes through clay, root systems, and frozen topsoil. Supported bit sizes range from 6 inches to 30 inches (150–750mm).

    B. Skeleton & Sifting Buckets

    Featuring heavy-duty Hardox steel grids with 3" x 3" sieve openings, skeleton buckets sift rocks and scrap while retaining clean fill material directly on site.

    C. Hydraulic Breakers & Hammers

    Deliver 500 to 1,200 impacts per minute with 450 Joules impact energy, quickly breaking up concrete driveways, footings, and stone slabs.

    D. Pallet Forks

    Convert your loader into a rough-terrain forklift for staging brick, block, sod, and lumber across unfinished jobsites.

    3. Universal Quick-Attach Compatibility

    All KONSTRUCTZ attachments utilize standard universal quick-attach mounting plates with dual mechanical lock pins, allowing single-operator tool swaps in minutes.
