What's the biggest skid steer loader?

[Cartoondude135]

So far, the only suspects I have on my list are the New Holland L334, the LS190B, and the LX985.

The skid steer has to be big enough to quickly load up a single body dump truck while at the same time turn tightly like any skid steer loader in one spot instead of backing up and driving forward like any typical vehicle.

I don't see your models on this list.

Maybe the mods can move this to the tractor loader backhoe forum. I think the biggest made was the Bobcat 980 at around 14,000lbs. A 975 is next at around 12,000lbs.

Well, "skid steer" is an earthmover, isn't it? But I couldn't find skid steer under earthmover, so I had to improvise.

A skid steer loader isn't quite like a front loader, and this sub forum is "tractor/loader/backhoe". So that's what made me think this was the correct category forum to ask this question.

I wasn't trying to be rude. If you scroll down through the forums there is a skid steer forum where you might get more/better responses. There is also a CTL (compact track loader) forum and there are CTL's bigger than skid steers. Also a mini skid steer forum.

Since the title question is specific--"skid steers", I moved it to the Skid Steer forum. Not a big deal...
