subject: Attachments That Can Be Used With A New Bobcat [print this page] The bobcat, also called a skid steer, is of immense use to people all over the world. These are heavy duty machines that are capable of performing some of the most laborious tasks in the shortest frame of time possible. This functionality of the new bobcat can be attributed to the myriad attachments that are designed for use with them. Ever since the skid steer was first invented, there have been numerous attachments that have been designed in order to cater to customer requirements. The attachments today are considered to be the most sophisticated and powerful of all the ones thus far. If you are planning on buying the skid steer, here are a few attachments that you may want to consider opting for.
The pallet forks are among the most common attachments used with the new bobcat in various industries. The bobcat that has this attachment fixed to the free end of its arm can carry heavy loads. While the pallet fork is used to carry the timber in the lumbering industry, it is used to carry heavy oars and other raw materials in the manufacturing units. Transporting hay bales, sacks of grains and other produce from the fields to the granary and other storage units is now easy, thanks to these attachments. When used in the construction industry, they can be used to carry heavy construction materials to the construction site. People in the landscaping industry also use the pallet forks to simplify their tasks.
There are many attachments that can be used with the new bobcat during winters to clear the snow. Some of the most commonly used are the snow blowers, snow plows and snow pushers. The snow plows can help in clearing huge deposits of snow in winter in a matter of minutes. These attachments can easily dig into the snow and lift them off the ground. These attachments are brought into use to clear the roads and highways during winter to facilitate easy movement of traffic and reduce the number of calamities caused due to snow deposits. The snow blower is another attachment that performs a similar task, but is different from the snow plow because it throws the snow to a particular place from where it can be removed and transported in trucks or other vehicles. The snow deposited on the runways or parking lots can be cleared easily by using a bobcat which has a snow pusher attached to it.
The trenchers are also commonly used attachments. Any used or new bobcat with this attachment can be used to dig through any type of soil with ease. Hence, they are used by the crew that is in charge of digging through roads in order to perform maintenance work or to lay new sewer pipes or utility cables. There are various types of trenchers attachments designed to work across varying surfaces. In addition to these, the other attachments that can be used with the bobcat are angle brooms, stump grinder, augers, rakes, tree saws and many more.
