A New Holland skid steer loader, also called a skid steer or skid loader for short, is a compact heavy equipment used for various construction and landscaping projects. It has lift arms that can attach to a wide variety of buckets and other labor-saving tools or attachments. New Holland Skid Steers are smaller and more maneuverable than wheel loaders, making them valuable for applications that require a compact, powerful and agile machine in confined-space work areas.
