There are three key things to consider when investing in a used skid steer attachment. Peace of mind is priceless, after all, and a little research and groundwork can really boost your confidence and satisfaction after the sale. The reason you are looking for a used skid steer attachment in the first place is to save money, right? One thing is for sure, a used skid steer attachment was at one time the best on the market because it is a quality product made of strong materials. A quality used attachment will always be better than a brand new knock-off product cheaply made with poor materials.

While there are many things to consider, these three main points should get you started and help make the decision process a little easier.

1. The first is the design of the used skid steer attachment. Is it fit to do the jobs you intend for it to do? Is it designed for those types of jobs? If you are a contractor who spends a lot of time clearing land of brush and debris, you might be in the market for a Brush Grapple Attachment. The thing to look for is whether or not the tines on the grapple are in the right place and in the right configuration to allow you to accomplish this goal. What about a Log Grapple Attachment? You need to make sure the tines are strong enough and heavy enough to actually carry the weight of the logs. Common sense, sure, but form and function are the best place to start in this process.

2. Because you are looking for something that has all the qualities of a great skid steer attachment. You need to look at what kind of materials went into making the attachment. On a used skid steer attachment, key an eye out for operational parts made of T1 structural steel or AR400 steel. Many non-reliable and non-durable products use mild steel throughout, which should only be used (at maximum) on the mounts.

3. Lastly, inspect the condition of the skid steer attachment. If you're able to view the product in person, this should be relatively simple. Make sure all the steel and welds are still in working condition, and that the mount is operational. Additionally, give any hoses or electrical connections a serious once-over and confirm they connect properly and perform as needed. Ask how many hours of operation the attachment has on it. When purchasing used attachments online, you'll have to find a reputable seller with a good track record of customer satisfaction and after sale support. An honorable company would never sell a poor product, even if it is used, and would go to lengths when listing a used attachment to disclose all important information about the use and condition of the attachment.
