Heavy equipment truly are amazing pieces of machinery, and you could say one of human's best inventions. Without loaders, dozers, skid steers, trucks, trailers, and excavators, we'd get less than half of the work done that we do now. Collectively speaking, society would not be as advanced either because building structures would take much more manpower, which would take brain power away from other innovations in life.
Wagner Used Equipment offers the best used construction equipment and other used machinery for all of your needs, from excavating and farming to building roads and paving driveways. Our used equipment offers value, dependability, and affordability. We also offer heavy equipment rentals and new heavy equipment sales. We have dealers throughout Colorado, New Mexico and far west Texas who can help you get the Cat parts, heavy equipment, and service that you need to get your jobs done.
In order to get the most bang for your buck from heavy equipment, it's prudent to invest in attachments. Like their name implies, attachments are extra tools that are made to fit on heavy equipment that expands their functionality, enabling you to get more done with just one machine. Below, we'll take a look at the best Cat attachments for your skid steer. Contact our used heavy equipment store today.
BEST SKID STEER ATTACHMENTS OFFERED BY WAGNER USED EQUIPMENT
Augers
When you think augers, think of drilling. An auger is essentially a Cat attachment that is in the shape of a spiral to dig into the earth. If you've ever dug holes for fences by hand, you'll understand the amount of work and effort it takes to do. With an auger, it's a press of the button and a minute or two and you have a perfect hole to the exact depth you need it to be every time. Augers make cutting through the earth effortless, and the uniformity of their cuts make them valuable pieces of heavy machinery for tasks such as fence building and tree planting. They are great for setting pilings and for erecting signposts. In essence, an auger expands your capabilities considerably.
Since augers operate off hydraulics, you just need to make sure that your size of skid steer has sufficient hydraulic flow and pressure to wield your auger. Wagner Used Equipment's friendly technicians can help you choose the right auger for your machine. We offer many different sizes of augers specifically made for Cat equipment, such as our A26B Skid Steer Auger attachment, made for bigger skid steers to our A7B Stick Skid Steer Auger attachment for our mini-skid steer loaders. Contact us today to learn more.
Buckets
As a kid, you probably owned several buckets that you used for a variety of uses, from holding sand you dug up in your sandbox to carrying your pet turtle around. A skid steer bucket is more of a shovel combined with capacity to hold dirt and is primarily used for digging. That being said, there are many different types of buckets that Cat offers to use for various purposes. We have clean-up buckets that are more for having materials pushed into them and are great for mini-skid steers to digging buckets for your more traditional uses. Most likely, your skid steer came with a general-purpose bucket, which gets your digger jobs done for the most part. You can use these buckets to load materials, dump it, and then spread it evenly. Teeth on the edge will help you dig better.
Similar to the augers, it's best that you match the size of your bucket to your Cat skid steer. A large bucket on a small machine in general is a recipe for disaster. Consider hydraulic capabilities as well for your Cat equipment before you buy or rent a bucket. Some buckets do require additional hydraulic connections, while others don't. The expert technicians at Wagner Used Equipment can help you determine the right bucket for your needs and for your machine. Visit any one of our dealers in Colorado, New Mexico, or west Texas to learn more.
Some popular types of skid steer buckets include:
- Snow buckets
- Rock buckets
- Grapple buckets
- Concrete-placing buckets
- Low-profile grading buckets
- Combination buckets
- General-purpose buckets
Rakes
Most of us are at least familiar with the general look and use of rakes from when we were kids who had to rake leaves into a pile at home (and then jump it them, of course!). Rakes for skid steers may look a bit different than your hand-held rakes, but they accomplish the same function. Most landscaping companies will have a rake since they are used so very often in their business. Rakes can be used to revitalize existing turf, help to remove any rocks and debris, prepare the earth for seeding, and help smooth and condition grass,sites, and soil. All of Cat rakes require hydraulic power so be sure you speak to an expert Cat technician when making your selection. Some popular types of rakes include:
- Power box rakes
- Excavator rakes
- Landscape rakes
- Industrial grapple rakes
One of the best things that customers tell us that they love about Wagner Used Equipment is the availability of heavy equipment that they need, including attachments.

Backhoe
If you are looking for a Cat attachment that will double what you can do with your skid steer, you'd be hard pressed to find a better one than a backhoe Cat attachment. A backhoe expands your digging abilities immensely. You can excavate, trench, tamp, and till until your heart's content. If you loved to dig as a child, you'll love to dig in one of our Cat heavy equipment. You'll find yourself repeatedly digging and filling the same hole once you get a Cat backhoe attachment. These backhoe attachments are great for residential and commercial construction projects and landscaping installations, as well as demolition jobs, back-filling, trenching, and slope and embankment work. The sky's the limit with these Cat attachments.
The nice thing about a backhoe attachment is that it turns your skid steer into an affordable excavator. You can scoop and move from sunup till sundown and be able to deposit your material at a 240-degree radius. While an excavator swivels 360-degrees, allowing for the most mobility, a skid steer with a backhoe attachment can do the same work in less space and at less cost, since excavators are considerably more expensive due to the complicated mechanisms required with the swing gear and chassis.
The great thing about Wagner Used Equipment is that you can procure all of these heavy equipment and attachments at great prices. You can also rent from Wagner Rental Stores to try out our magnificent heavy equipment and attachments before you buy. Wagner Used Equipment strives to meet all of your needs seamlessly.

Brooms
Brooms are a variant of the household broom you have in your closet at home — just made for heavy equipment. Sometimes the hardest part of the job is the clean-up afterward. You just spent long hours preparing and doing the job, and now that it's done, all you want to do is rest. This is one reason why investing in a broom Cat attachment by Wagner Used Equipment is one of the best decisions you'll ever make. These Cat attachments sweep up debris and other items on your job site, leaving it in pristine condition at the end of the day. Our Cat dealers in Colorado, New Mexico, and west Texas offer three main types of broom attachments:
- Angle broom attachments. You can use these on city streets and airport runways.
- Utility broom attachments. These are general purpose brooms used for any type of clean-up duty.
- Pickup broom attachments. These broom attachments will pick up debris and store it for you in an integral hopper, making emptying a breeze.
From factory floors and sidewalks to streets and parking lots, these brooms can clear up dirt and debris in no time. They are also great for storm clean up as well, powering through sticks, leaves, and trash that storms leave behind. Call your local Wagner dealer to learn more.
