A compact track loader is used for several functions, including digging; clearing; grading; transporting material; and dumping dirt, sand, clay or debris. As its name implies, this machine moves on tracks as opposed to wheels to be more efficient on surfaces that are not level, smooth or even.

Skid steers do not come with titles. However, if you’re uncertain of the ownership of a particular piece of machinery prior to purchase, it may be ideal to request that the seller provide original proof of purchase documents. You may also want to make sure to retain your bill of purchase or receipt at the end of the transaction to prove your ownership after purchasing.
