Loaders Skid Steers: Choose a Compact Loader or a Pallet Fork Attachment

Choose among three compact tracked loaders and one pallet fork frame by deciding first whether the job calls for a complete machine, a stand-on or ride-on format, diesel or gasoline power, or an attachment at a much lower listed price.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

A loader purchase can mean two very different things: a complete compact machine for moving material, or a pallet-fork attachment for lifting palletized loads with equipment already on hand. That distinction matters more here than the broad $454.30 to $10,449.05 listed-price range. Start by deciding whether you need a tracked mini skid steer or the 45-inch pallet fork frame, then narrow the machine choices by operator format, engine type, lift path, and access width.

Quick take

  • Pick the New STOMP V900 1.4Ton 25HP Kubota D1105 Mini Skid Steer w Pallet Fork Attachment when a stand-on tracked machine, diesel power, and a pallet fork attachment are central to the job.
  • Choose the TYPHON STOMP 502 1958lbs Mini Skid Steer Loader 22.1HP Honda Gas Engine 3 pump for a compact tracked loader with a Honda gas engine and three-pump configuration.
  • The SDA-140T Ride-on Tracked Mini Skid Steer Loader-RATO Gas Engine-Seat Type is the clear fit for shoppers who specifically want a seat-type, ride-on tracked loader with vertical lift.
  • Buy the 45" Skid Steer Pallet Fork Frame w/ 48" Forklift Blades Kubota Bobcat Skid Steer only when the immediate need is the 45-inch frame and 48-inch fork blades rather than a complete loader.

The pallet fork frame sits at $454.30, while the three complete compact loaders range from $3,850.00 to $10,449.05. Compare it with the loaders only if the task is specifically adding forks to an existing equipment setup; it does not answer the same need as purchasing a machine.

Decision matrix

  • Need pallet forks included with a compact loader: STOMP V900, whose title includes a pallet fork attachment.
  • Need the lowest listed price for fork hardware: GARVEE 45-inch Skid Steer Pallet Fork Frame at $454.30.
  • Prefer a Honda gasoline engine and tracked compact format: TYPHON STOMP 502.
  • Want a seated ride-on arrangement and vertical lift: Agrotk SDA-140T.
  • Working through narrow access points: STOMP V900, described at 35.9 inches wide; the STOMP 502 is also described with a 1084 mm overall width.

Product notes

New STOMP V900 1.4Ton 25HP Kubota D1105 Mini Skid Steer w Pallet Fork Attachment

New STOMP V900 1.4Ton 25HP Kubota D1105 Mini Skid Steer w Pallet Fork Attachment

The STOMP V900 is the most purpose-built choice for jobs that combine compact tracked-loader work with pallet handling. Its 25HP Kubota D1105 diesel engine, radial lift path, stand-on format, and included pallet fork attachment make the intended role unusually clear. A 35.9-inch stated width also gives this machine a specific access-focused argument for gates and tighter work areas. The tradeoff is its $10,449.05 listed price, the highest in this group. Choose this route when the diesel engine and included pallet fork attachment are priorities, rather than when you only need fork hardware or specifically want a seated machine.

45" Skid Steer Pallet Fork Frame w/ 48" Forklift Blades Kubota Bobcat Skid Steer

45" Skid Steer Pallet Fork Frame w/ 48" Forklift Blades Kubota Bobcat Skid Steer

This GARVEE pallet fork setup is the direct choice for lifting pallets: the title specifies a 45-inch skid steer pallet fork frame and 48-inch forklift blades, while the description cites a 4,000-pound pulling-force figure and a 2-inch hitch receiver. At $454.30, it is far below the listed prices of the complete loaders, which makes it the focused option for an attachment-led purchase. Its key limitation is equally important: it is a manual-power pallet fork frame, not a compact loader with an engine, tracks, or operator position. Prioritize it when forks are the requested tool, not when the project requires a new machine.

TYPHON STOMP 502 1958lbs Mini Skid Steer Loader 22.1HP Honda Gas Engine 3 pump

TYPHON STOMP 502 1958lbs Mini Skid Steer Loader 22.1HP Honda Gas Engine 3 pump

The TYPHON STOMP 502 suits shoppers seeking a compact tracked loader built around a Honda gas engine and a three-pump configuration. It has a radial lift path, and its description places it in narrow-gate, backyard, and indoor-job-site situations, with a stated 1084 mm total width. The $6,499.00 listed price positions it between the ride-on SDA-140T and the diesel STOMP V900. Its limitation is that the title does not include a pallet fork attachment, unlike the STOMP V900 package. Select the STOMP 502 when the Honda-powered tracked-loader format matters more than having forks named as part of the purchase.

SDA-140T Ride-on Tracked Mini Skid Steer Loader-RATO Gas Engine-Seat Type

SDA-140T Ride-on Tracked Mini Skid Steer Loader-RATO Gas Engine-Seat Type

The SDA-140T makes the most sense when operator format is the deciding factor. It is explicitly a seat-type, ride-on tracked mini skid steer loader, with a RATO gasoline, fan-cooled engine and vertical lift path. Its 1150 mm bucket width gives shoppers one concrete working-width detail to consider, and its $3,850.00 listed price is the lowest among the complete loaders here. The limitation is its more narrowly defined configuration: the title centers on the RATO gas engine and seat-type design, rather than the Honda engine of the STOMP 502 or the diesel-and-pallet-fork combination of the STOMP V900. Choose it for a ride-on vertical-lift preference.

Final recommendation by use case

For a complete loader with pallet forks named in the package, select the STOMP V900. For a compact tracked machine with Honda gasoline power, the STOMP 502 is the focused match. For a seated, ride-on tracked loader with vertical lift at the lowest complete-loader listed price, choose the SDA-140T. If a loader is already covered and the need is specifically a 45-inch frame with 48-inch pallet blades, the GARVEE pallet fork frame is the right category of purchase.
