Skid steer loaders are versatile, valuable, and perfect for all scales of landscaping and construction projects. However, buying new machines can be a significant investment, and you might be on a tight budget. This makes choosing a used model the ideal option.

Pre-owned machinery offers various advantages, a few of which are discussed below. So, read on to learn more about buying used skid steers, and for more information, contact Torgerson’s Equipment!

Cost Savings

One of the most compelling reasons to choose used equipment is the potential for significant cost savings. Used skid steer loaders come at a fraction of the cost of their brand-new counterparts, providing an affordable solution for businesses looking to expand their fleet or replace older equipment.

Lower Depreciation

Another advantage of choosing used equipment is the lower rate of depreciation. Typically, brand-new machinery depreciates quickly in the first few years. In contrast, used machines have already undergone this initial depreciation, meaning their value is more likely to remain stable over time. If you sell off your used equipment after using it for a few years, you can recover an amount closer to your initial investment.

Immediate Availability

Used skid steer loaders are available for immediate purchase, unlike new models which may require a waiting period due to manufacturing lead times. This means you can get the equipment as and when you need it, without any delays.

Now that you’re more familiar with the advantages of used equipment, you’re ready to explore a few models in person. If you need more convincing or help to select the right machinery for your work projects, contact Torger’s Equipment. We serve all of Montana, so reach out today!
