Skid Steer Machines – Compact, Powerful, and Extremely Versatile Skid steer machines have become an indispensable tool within construction, landscaping, agriculture, and industrial applications. Thanks to their compact design, high manoeuvrability, and wide range of attachments, skid steers are ideal for working in confined areas where high performance is still required. At Finaldrive-trackmotors, we have supplied hydraulic components for excavators for many years. We are also offering final drives / track motors for skid steer machines, allowing you to source reliable drive solutions from a single supplier. ________________________________________ Why Choose a Skid Steer? A skid steer loader differs from many other machine types by its ability to turn on the spot. This makes it particularly well suited for: • Work in tight and confined areas • Precision tasks on construction sites • Indoor applications in warehouses and agricultural buildings • Efficient operation with a wide variety of attachments In particular, compact track loaders (skid steers with rubber tracks) have gained popularity due to their excellent traction, low ground pressure, and stable operation on soft or uneven terrain. ________________________________________ The Final Drive – A Critical Component on Skid Steers The final drive, also known as the track motor, is one of the most heavily loaded and critical components on a skid steer machine. It transfers power from the hydraulic system to the undercarriage and ensures smooth, precise movement with the correct torque. Common signs of a worn or failing skid steer final drive include: • Reduced traction • Jerky or uneven movement • Unusual noise from the undercarriage • Oil leakage from the final drive When the final drive does not operate correctly, both productivity and machine reliability are significantly affected. ________________________________________ New Final Drives for Skid Steer Machines We supply new, complete final drives for skid steer machines, suitable for both wheeled and tracked models. Our final drives are: • Designed for professional use • Tested for correct pressure, flow, and torque • A cost-effective alternative to original units We offer final drives for many popular skid steer brands, including: CAT, Bobcat, Kubota, Case, New Holland, John Deere and more. If you are unsure which final drive fits your machine, we are happy to assist with identification based on machine model, serial number, or photos. ________________________________________ Why Buy Skid Steer Final Drives from Us?
