Manufacturers Say Compact Track Loaders Are Eroding the Skid Steer Market

What do you prefer — a compact track loader or a skid steer loader? According to the Construction Equipment magazine article “Fine Young Cannibals: CTLs Eat at Skid Steer Share,” more and more North America contractors are choosing CTLs. In fact, John Deere Construction & Forestry Product Marketing Manager says the compact track loader market is up in North America by approximately 10 percent over the past 12 months. That’s significant growth!
Brent Coffey, Wacker Neuson’s product manager for loaders, believes skid steer loaders will always have a place in the market since they are still cheaper to buy and cost less to own.
