Skid Steer Planers

Yes, a skid steer planer attachment is practical for curb-cutting and milling around obstacles like manholes and drains. Many planers offer side-shift capabilities, allowing precise cuts along edges and in hard-to-reach areas.

Yes, a skid steer planer attachment is designed to handle both asphalt and concrete surfaces. With high-torque, heavy-duty drums, these planers can efficiently remove concrete layers, making them suitable for resurfacing, pothole repair, and other concrete removal projects.

You typically need a skid steer with a high-flow hydraulic system to operate a planer attachment for a skid steer. Standard-flow systems can handle smaller planers, while high-flow setups (31-41 gpm) are required for larger planers with wider drums. Ensuring your skid steer’s hydraulic flow matches the planer’s requirements is essential for smooth operation.

Skid steer planers are equipped with high rear spoil clearance to prevent the recirculation of milled material. This design helps clear debris quickly, allowing the attachment to work continuously without clogging, making it more efficient for large projects.

To ensure compatibility, ensure the planer attachment matches your skid steer’s hydraulic flow and pressure output and that the attachment plate fits your skid steer’s mounting system. Consulting your skid steer’s specifications and the attachment’s requirements is crucial for seamless integration.
