What Vermeer Mini Skid Steer Attachments Are Available?

Vermeer mini skid steer attachments include specialized tools like brush chippers, augers, trenchers, and grapple buckets designed for compact power and versatility. The AX17 Brush Chipper, with horizontal offset feed rollers and a fixed infeed table, is a popular Vermeer-specific attachment for vegetation management. Universal attachments like rubber-track-compatible pallet forks (2,200 lb capacity) and 42″ heavy-duty root grapple buckets are also compatible, though verifying fitment with Vermeer’s S450TX or other models is crucial.

What attachments work with Vermeer mini skid steers?

Vermeer mini skid steers support brand-specific and universal attachments. The AX17 Brush Chipper optimizes debris processing, while standard quick-attach systems allow compatibility with 42″ grapples, pallet forks, and trenchers. Hydraulic-driven augers (6–24″ diameters) excel in drilling tasks. Pro Tip: Always confirm hydraulic flow rates—Vermeer’s S450TX delivers 13 GPM, aligning with medium-duty attachments.

Beyond basic digging, Vermeer units handle specialized tasks. For instance, the 42″ root grapple ($1,074.99) efficiently clears rocks and stumps, while Danuser’s Intimidator post puller ($4,499) removes obstructions with side teeth. Transitioning to earthwork? A 24″ trencher attachment can dig 36″ deep for utility lines. But what about material handling? Vermeer’s compatibility with 2,200 lb pallet forks makes loading/unloading effortless. Pro Tip: Use bolt-on counterweights when operating heavy attachments to prevent tipping.

Are third-party attachments compatible?

Third-party attachments often fit Vermeer via standardized mounts. Brands like AFTparts offer durable sprockets and grapples compatible with Vermeer’s 8.5” wheelbase. However, verify pin sizes (e.g., 1.5” vs. 2”) and hydraulic couplings. Example: Skid Steer Attachment Depot’s 49” post puller works with Vermeer’s 13-GPM flow but requires SAE 6 ports.
