How to Prep Skid-Steer Loaders for Winter Work

Published on November 24, 2014

Winter is no time to park your skid-steer loader, and let it sit idle until warmer weather. Give it a winter workout with attachments that can turn it into your favorite snow removal machine.

But before tackling snow piles and icy sidewalks, winterize your skid-steer loader and other compact equipment so they’re running at their best.

Refer to your owner’s manual for a complete checklist of seasonal maintenance items. Find your Bobcat Manual.

Some of the major areas to check are:

  • Fluids, oils and fuels
  • Tire pressure
  • Battery
  • Attachments
  • Cold-climate comfort features
