Compact track loaders and skid steer loaders are among the highest sales volume products of all construction equipment – and it’s easy to see why. The ease of transport and the ability to outfit the machines with a variety of attachments make them a weapon on any jobsite.
This year, major manufacturers, including ASV, Caterpillar, Develon, Firstgreen, John Deere, Kubota, Manitou and Yanmar, released next-generation models that offer even more power, performance and standard technology.
Here’s a look at the flurry of new skid steers and compact loaders that hit the market in 2024, listed in alphabetical order by manufacturer:
ASV RT-65ASVASV
ASV’s latest track loaders – the RT-65, VT-75, VT-80 and VT-80 Forestry - now come equipped with Yanmar engines, meaning the machines can be serviced from top to bottom by ASV dealers.
Cat’s four new skid steers - the 250, 260, 270 and 270 XE - and four new CTLs - 275, 275 XE, 285 and 285 XE - feature more power, capacity and comfort over the D3 series.
