Ditch Witch
The Ditch Witch SK850 mini skid steer delivers more power to the attachment with its 37-hp Tier 4 Yanmar diesel engine.

Bobcat
The MT55 boasts even more power to tackle big jobs in close quarters with impressive traction and lifting abilities. It turns quickly in its tracks, treads lightly over soft ground and lawns and provides endless work-saving opportunities using many different Bobcat attachments. Used by itself or as a complement to bigger loaders, this is one great work-saver. Key features include a Final Tier 4 diesel engine and rated operating weight of 550 pounds. www.bobcat.com
