Compact track loaders are similar to skid steers; they are on tracks instead of wheels, being the one big difference. Compact track loaders are more productive than skid steers due to the better breakout force and the balance of the machine. Compact track loaders are flexible machines that can fit hundreds of different attachments like backhoes, blades, brush cutters, and buckets.
Used compact track loaders cost between $5,000 to $100,000 depending on the size, year, model, and included attachments.
Popular manufacturers include John Deere, Bobcat, and Caterpillar.
Because of their exceptional horsepower, small size, and versatility, CTLs are used for various purposes, including construction, agriculture, and landscaping.
CTL’s weigh on average 1,500 - 12,000lbs.
Operators should always wear a seatbelt when using a rollover cab like a compact track loader. Even with new features like backup cameras, keep your head on a swivel and be aware of your surroundings.
When choosing the best used CTL for your needs, you’ll need to understand the environment you’ll work in, ground surfaces, and necessary horsepower. Consider factors like the lift paths, tipping load, operating capacity, torque, and size. Buying from a trusted dealer makes the process easier as you can ask appropriate questions about the machinery.
Newer models will generally have fewer hours than used equipment, all things being equal. Most problems with new equipment occur within the first few months of purchase. This means that if your used compact track loader has a clear maintenance history, there shouldn’t be too much difference.
When buying a used CTL, ensure you know where to find replacement parts when parts of your machine break.
On average, compact track loader operators in the US make $38,114 to $53,680
Since CTLs log many hours on job sites, they’re a great starting point for people who wish to transition from laborer to operator. Most employers expect you to have a high school diploma or GED, driver's license, and good physical aptitudes.
