Mini Skid Steers at Ditch Witch of Ohio, Western PA and Western NY
Looks can be deceiving. So can names. Take Mini Skid Steers, for example. In stature, the SK350, SK500, and SK650 are relatively small. But everywhere else—power, performance, and versatility—they are absolutely huge.

The ultra-compact, ultra-powerful SK350 features a 20-hp (14.9 kW) Kohler engine and an 11 gpm (42 L/min) dual hydrostatic ground drive that gives it the same capabilities of larger machines. With the SK350's comfortable stand-on platform freeing you from trudging through mud and debris and over uneven terrain, you'll be better able to witness how productive this little workhorse can be.
7.5-gallon (28 L) fuel tank provides up to 5 hours of operation, so you can finish most jobs without refueling.
Greater lift and dump heights than the competition's, so the SK350 can dump into vehicles that others can't, increasing its versatility.

The SK500's powerful, 24-hp (17.7 kW) Honda engine and hydraulic system give it the muscle to do the job of much larger machines. It can do more jobs because it can accept more than 70 attachments. And with its 36-inch (914 mm) trim waistline, the SK500 can easily slip into and around jobsites where larger, bulkier equipment simply can't go.
Simple operator interface; only four levers control all functions.
Independent hydraulic circuits help the SK500 turn tightly for increased job productivity, mobility and accessibility.

The SK650's 31.5-hp (23.5-kW) Kubota diesel engine and hydraulic system give it more power for its size than any machine in its class—in a compact package that's easy to tow and maneuver. With 20 net horsepower (15 kW) to the front end, attachments are more productive. You're more productive, too, because the SK650's 8-gallon (30.3-L) fuel tank enables you to work for several hours without refueling.
Greater lift and dump heights than competitors, so the SK650 can dump into vehicles that others can't, increasing its versatility.
Stand-on platform keeps operators out of mud and debris and reduces fatigue.
