Moving a trailer around a shop, farm, or construction site with a skid steer is one of those tasks that feels simple until you realize your loader has no tow point. In the world of heavy equipment attachments work tools, a skid hitch solves that by putting a 2-inch receiver on the front of the machine, letting you hook up trailers without leaving the cab. The question is whether a 5,000-lb tongue rating and universal quick-attach design at USD 108.00 is the right fit for your equipment.
Quick verdict
The 2-Inch Skid Hitch Attachment for Skid Steer Loader is a straightforward steel hitch built for full-size skid steers and tractors with a universal quick-attach plate. At USD 108.00, it gives you a black, powder-coated steel tongue rated for 5,000 lb on the tongue, which makes it a practical option for moving loaded trailers around a yard or jobsite.
Who it suits
This attachment makes sense if you regularly need to reposition dump trailers, equipment trailers, or other tow-behind loads with a skid steer. The universal quick-attach plate fitment covers full-size skid steers, and the same plate pattern works on tractors that use a universal quick-attach system. It also fits John Deere machines with a Quick Tach adapter plate, so it is not limited to a single brand.
What stands out
The 2-inch receiver is the standard size for most trailer couplers, so you are not hunting for a specialty ball mount. The black steel construction with a powder-coated surface is a meaningful detail because it is designed to resist rust when the attachment sits outside between jobs. The 5,000-lb tongue rating is the number to watch: tongue weight is the downward force the trailer puts on the hitch, not the total trailer weight, so this attachment is aimed at medium-duty towing rather than heavy gooseneck loads.
Meaningful trade-offs
The attachment is universal, but universal means you still need to confirm that your loader's quick-attach plate matches the pattern. Fitment includes full-size skid steers and tractors with a universal quick-attach plate, plus John Deere Quick Tach adapter plates, so a compact or mini skid steer may not be covered. Also, the 5,000-lb tongue rating is a capacity limit, not a guarantee for every trailer; you have to weigh the tongue load of your own equipment before relying on it as a daily tow point.
Bottom line
If you need a simple, steel skid hitch for a full-size skid steer or a tractor with a universal quick-attach plate, the 2-Inch Skid Hitch Attachment for Skid Steer Loader at USD 108.00 offers a standard receiver, a 5,000-lb tongue rating, and rust-resistant black powder coating. It is not a specialty coupler for compact machines, and you will want to verify your trailer's tongue weight fits within the rating, but for everyday trailer repositioning it is a no-frills attachment.
