Auxiliary hydraulics help unlock the full power and versatility of your skid steer by allowing it to run a wide range of attachments. With the right setup, you can take on more tasks and get more value out of a single machine.

By understanding how auxiliary hydraulics work and matching them with the right attachments and flow requirements, operators can expand their equipment’s capabilities across multiple applications.

Understanding Auxiliary Hydraulics

Auxiliary hydraulics are additional hydraulic systems on a skid steer or compact loader that provide power to attachments beyond the standard lift and tilt functions. They allow your machine to run hydraulic tools such as augers, trenchers, grapples, and brush cutters.

These systems work by connecting attachments to the machine’s hydraulic ports. These supply pressurized fluid to operate the equipment. With auxiliary hydraulics, your skid steer can handle a wide variety of tasks, making it far more versatile on the job site.

Choosing the Right Attachments

Selecting the right attachments for your skid steer starts with understanding your machine’s hydraulic flow. Standard-flow hydraulics are ideal for lighter attachments, while high-flow systems are necessary for more demanding tools that require extra power.

It’s also important to match attachments with your skid steer’s lift capacity and weight limits to ensure safe operation. Also consider compatibility factors like quick-attach systems and hose connections. This can affect how easily and effectively you can switch between tools.

Benefits to Using Auxiliary Hydraulics

High-flow auxiliary hydraulics boost productivity by powering attachments more efficiently. This increased capability can help grow your business by enabling you to take on a wider range of jobs. With this added versatility, your machine can handle multiple applications without needing additional machines.

Auxiliary hydraulics transform your skid steer into a powerhouse, letting you handle more jobs with less effort. With the right setup, you can streamline work, boost productivity, and open new opportunities for your business.
