The real value of a skid steer loader isn’t the base machine — it’s everything the base machine can become with the right attachment. A single skid steer, paired with the right tools, can dig, sweep, drill, break, and grade, replacing what would otherwise take a yard full of specialized equipment. LEADMAN’s DW-Series skid steers and attachment lineup are built around that idea.
The DW-Series: A Compact Powerhouse Platform
- DW45 — A compact skid steer built for maneuverability in tight spaces, ideal for smaller sites, landscaping, and general-purpose material handling where space is at a premium.
- DW65 — A step up in size and robustness, the DW65 is suited to heavier-duty tasks and larger job sites where more lifting and pushing power is needed without sacrificing skid steer agility.
Both models are designed as versatile platforms — the base machine is only the starting point. Their real strength comes from LEADMAN’s attachment ecosystem.
Attachments That Multiply What One Machine Can Do
- 4-in-1 Bucket (available in 60″, 66″, 72″, and 84″ variants) — Combines a standard bucket, dozer blade, grapple, and scraper in one attachment, letting operators load, grade, clamp, and push without switching equipment.
- Angle Broom (60″, 72″, and 84″ models) — Turns a skid steer into a sweeping machine for site cleanup, debris removal, and surface preparation, saving crews from manual sweeping on larger areas.
- Auger Drive and Bit — Adds fast, consistent hole-digging capability for fence posts, footings, and landscaping work, replacing hand digging or a separate auger machine entirely.
- Backhoe Arm — Converts a skid steer (or excavator) into a backhoe-capable machine, useful for utility trenching and digging tasks on sites where a dedicated backhoe isn’t practical.
The Business Case for Attachments
For contractors and fleet owners, attachments aren’t just a convenience — they’re a cost strategy. Instead of purchasing, maintaining, transporting, and storing multiple single-purpose machines, one skid steer with a set of attachments can cover sweeping, digging, grading, and material handling. That means:
- Lower equipment costs — one machine, several jobs.
- Less time lost to equipment swaps between different tasks on the same site.
- Simpler maintenance and logistics — fewer machines to service, fuel, and haul between sites.
- Faster ROI on the base skid steer, since it stays in productive use across a wider range of work.
Building Out Your Fleet the Smart Way
Whether you’re running a DW45 on tight residential lots or a DW65 on larger commercial sites, the question isn’t just “which skid steer” — it’s which combination of skid steer and attachments actually covers your workload. A contractor doing regular post-hole work benefits most from pairing a DW-Series loader with the auger drive and bit; a crew focused on site cleanup and prep will get more mileage from the angle broom and 4-in-1 bucket.
