Skid steers - also known as skid loaders - are compact machines with rigid frames and strong wheel bearings used for digging. They are designed to prevent damage from occuring due to the extreme dragging forces exerted on the machine. Their light, compact frame allows them to maneuver in areas and work zones where tractor front loaders cannot.
Skid steers are commonly referred to as Bobcats. Bobcat is an equipment manufacturer that produces skid steers, but they are not the only maker of skid steers. There are many heavy construction equipment companies that produce high quality skid steers.
Sam's Services has employed two skid steers, a Caterpillar 226B and a Case 1840. Both skid steers can be equiped with a grading, digging, and grapple bucket.
Sam's Services also has two brush hogs to use for clearing lots. We have a skid steer brush hog attachment and a tractor mounted brush hog. Both are excellent at cutting overgrown vegetation.
A brush hog is also commonly known as - or referred to as - a bush hog. They are a specific type of rotary mower. They aren't typically single unit machines. They are most commonly sold as an attachment to be used on a farm tractor or to be used on a skid steer, like a Bobcat.
The attachment is pulled behind heavy equipment while it's blade - or blades - spin parallel to the ground. The blades cut through thick vegetation, leaving it free from the land for easy removal. Brush hogs are essential tools when clearing land.
Our dump trucks are used for more than hauling away debris from lot clearing jobs. Sure they are regularly used for hauling away trees, stumps and assorted vegetation, but that's only half the battle. With the ability to haul up to 25,000 pounds of material and a one ton dump capacity they can be used for so much more.
Our dump trucks are routinely used to pick up and drop off loads of materials. One of the most common uses of our dump trucks is the delivery of heavy landscaping materials. We will gladly haul dirt, rocks, or mulch to or from any job site. If you are considering tackling a landscaping project, but are in need of a delivery service, please feel free to give us a call.
Sam's Services will gladly work with you to handle your hauling or delivery needs. Contact us today!
