These skid steers are needed to replace old equipment (2002) that are used for a wide
variety of infrastructure maintenance activities including; sidewalk removal and
replacement, grading, landscaping, tree removal and maintenance, materials handling,

Skid steers, more commonly called Bobcats, are versatile in their abilities and the number of
attachments available to convert them to a specific purpose piece of equipment which
reduces the quantity of different types of equipment needed.
