The Benefits of using a Skidster Mini Loader Machine

If you are in the building or maintenance trades you have very little room to spare, in more ways than one. First things first, you have very little time to spare. Every second counts when a crew of six is waiting, for any reason. Of course no matter what the job, or where you already know that you will have very little actual space to work with. And most importantly, you have no money to spare. Well these are the reasons that the Skidster was born.

 

Yes you could your crew of six pick up shovels and get the job done, but would the cost be? What if the job involves digging up the back garden of a flat? You know that you are not going to just run your normal equipment in that small of a space. This means either you jack your contract up to meet the cost of six skilled laborers digging for who knows how long to get it done, or you find a better way. Well the Skidster is the better way.

Small Packages Big Power
Imagine a machine that is small enough to fit down an alley with room to spare that can trench, bore, dig, lift or whatever else you would like it to do. Imagine that this mythical beastie is affordable and can handle jobs with serious mass to them as well. This was the vision that drove the creation of the mini loaders that have become the basic tools of the building and maintenance trades. The size and power are the keys to its utility. The engines that drive Skidsters are compact power. Even though the machine is so small that the operator must stand on a small platform, it does the work of machines that were three times the size just twenty years ago.

 

Imagine lifting 350kg nearly three meters with the same machine that can bore a one meter wide hole one meter deep. You can also do most of the major finish work on the lawn when you done, too. This is not a figment of your imagination; this is how your competition gets the job done. This is how labor costs are kept down and you remain competitive with the market. Keep in mind that some of the smallest on the market, which is similar to the one described above, are only 77cm wide. That could fit through a bedroom doorway and down the hall.

Stability Factors

There is no other way to deliver that kind of power with that kind of flexibility and safety. Keep in mind that vibration is a major source of disability in the trades. These machines eliminate that by creating a mobile, stable platform as a base for the work rather than the arms of your skilled tradesmen. That really is important as you are paying a lot for the best crews and they need to be able to be a productive as they can. Better ideas are usually obvious and a Skidster is obvious.

Paint Sprayer question please?

I plan on painting the exterior of my house this weekend and have been pricing through several airless paint sprayers. I think I have finally settled on a Wagner Wide Shot from Home Depot. Is anyone familiar with this product or brand?

Or for that matter does anyone that has used a paint sprayer have any words of wisdom or advice?

Thanks in advance!
Once I'm done with the exterior, will the wide shot be suitable for using inside the house?

you will love the wagner wide shot. you will want a good supply of card board to use as an "edge" to go around windows ext.also get the best paint money can buy. use two thin coats and allow plenty of time to dry between coats. don't paint when its windy,over 40% chance of rain or if dew is on the house.be very careful if u are on a ladder! also its not a bad idea to take "safety" breaks as needed.drink a least one beer an hour,relax and it will be a fast and great looking paint job,good luck,painter bob
