Mini loaders & front end loaders for tree loppers – better than a skid steer-”bobcat”!
Schaffer mini loader, front end loader and articulated telescopic loader customers in focus working in the tree industry and general contracting. Many of these customers used to own a skid steer – often called “bobcats” but found the wheels dug the ground up when working in customers backyards so have converted to the compact, industrial Schaffer Loader!

Great video, nice editing. I have had the pleasure of using a Schaffer articulated loader. Great work horse. The attachments are phenomenal. The truly amazing part though is that the articulation allows you to drive over turf without leaving so much as a dent. If you need to be kind to the terrain, use one of these.
Hi Chechnya, thanks for your comments. Many of our customers would have said the same thing in the past but then they bought a Schaffer Loader and find that productivity far exceeds their previous skid steer. Schaffer articulated loaders don’t need to skid their tyres to turn so they don’t tear up clients lawns, also they find in tight areas the great visibility speeds up their work and they off to the next job.
Nothing beats the productivity of a skid steer
how much are they
Great turning circle, hydro power to spare and a log grapple with a wide gape. I wonder if I could fir one under the Christmas tree……
