Wheeled Skid Steers for Grey-Bruce Contractors and Acreages

Questions I get about the SSV Series

Rated operating capacity is the load a skid steer can safely lift and carry, and it's the number most contractors compare when sizing a machine to a job. The SSV Series spans roughly 1,950 to 2,690 lb ROC depending on the model.

Wheels are faster on pavement, gravel, and hard-packed yards, and they're generally cheaper to run and maintain over time than tracks. Tracks earn their keep in soft, wet, or uneven ground where flotation matters more than speed — for most contractors working on harder surfaces day to day, the SSV's wheels are the more economical choice.

Yes, the SSV Series uses the same style of universal skid steer attachment mount used across the industry, so buckets, pallet forks, augers, grapples, and similar attachments all fit. That versatility is a big part of why a skid steer is often the first loader a contractor buys.

Breakout force on the SSV Series ranges from about 4,839 to 5,884 lbf depending on the model — that's the digging and prying force at the bucket, which matters most when you're working in packed material rather than just carrying loads.

Yes, the SSV Series is available with either an open canopy or a fully enclosed, heated cab. For anyone running it through a Grey-Bruce winter, the cab makes a real difference.
