Which Skid Steer Loader Should You Buy? Comparing Four Listings from $219.99 to $6,799

A compact skid steer loader buyer's guide comparing a 24HP tracked loader, a Honda-powered loader, a ride-on RATO loader, and a Case radiator part.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

Skid steer loaders are a major purchase, and the listings around this category span very different jobs. On one side you have complete tracked machines with engines, buckets, and lift systems. On the other, you have replacement parts that keep an existing loader running. This guide covers four listed options so you can match the machine to the work.

Quick take

If you're buying a complete loader, the 24HP model and the TYPHON STOMP 502 offer the highest listed prices and the highest listed horsepower, while the SDA-140T sits at a lower list price for a ride-on tracked design. If you already own a Case 1840 or 1845C, the 1347609C1 radiator is a parts-level purchase rather than a new machine.

Listed-price comparison

ListingListed pricePrice bar
24HP Skid Steer Loader, 3-Stage Hydraulic Pump, 4-in-1 Bucket$6,799.00
TYPHON STOMP 502 1958lbs Mini Skid Steer Loader$6,499.00
SDA-140T Ride-on Tracked Mini Skid Steer Loader$3,850.00
1347609C1 1A12192 Radiator for Case 1840 1845C$219.99

Before you compare these listings, decide whether the job requires a complete loader or just a repair component. The first three products are compact tracked loaders; the fourth is a radiator for an existing Case machine. That one distinction shapes every other choice here, because a $219.99 part and a $6,799 machine are both valid but entirely different purchases.

Product notes

24HP Skid Steer Loader, 3-Stage Hydraulic Pump, 4-in-1 Bucket

24HP Skid Steer Loader, 3-Stage Hydraulic Pump, 4-in-1 Bucket With 2 Attachments

This listing stands out because it includes a four-in-one digging bucket and two attachments on a compact tracked loader. With a 24HP RATO 740 engine and a 0.15 m³ bucket, it's positioned as a multi-purpose machine for digging, loading, and pallet work. The listed climbing ability of 30° is a concrete advantage on sloped sites. The main limitation is the biggest upfront commitment: it carries the highest listed price of the four items. It also has the highest fuel-consumption figure in this set, listed at 6.7 L/H, which is worth planning for if you run long shifts.

TYPHON STOMP 502 1958lbs Mini Skid Steer Loader

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

For buyers who want a Honda engine, this tracked loader uses a 22.1HP Honda gas unit and a three-pump hydraulic setup. The listing gives a slim 1084 mm width and a 1315 mm height, which makes it a candidate for access through gates and doorways. It's also listed with a radial-lift path. The limitation is that 22.1 HP is a touch below the 24HP model in this set, so if maximum power is your first criterion, the larger engine may matter more. It is priced close to the top of the range.

SDA-140T Ride-on Tracked Mini Skid Steer Loader

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

This SDA-140T is a seat-type ride-on loader with a RATO gas engine and a vertical-lift path, which separates it from the radial-lift TYPHON. The bucket width listed at 1150 mm gives you a sense of the working width. The description says it's brand new and ready to use, with hydraulic fluid and engine oil available as an added $200 service. The limitation is that the RATO engine is not the Honda unit, and the listed bucket width is wider than the loader's compact body, so maneuvering in tight spaces depends on your site. If you want a ride-on machine at a lower list price than the two top loaders, this is the one.

1347609C1 1A12192 Radiator for Case 1840 1845C Skid Steer Loader

1347609C1 1A12192 Radiator for Case 1840 1845C Skid Steer Loader

This is the only item in the set that isn't a loader. It's a replacement radiator with a 3-row core, listed in new-other condition and made for Case 1840 and 1845C skid steer loaders. The listing includes part-number cross-references such as 1347609C1, 1A12192, and 301877A2. The limitation is that it can't be used as a stand-alone machine; you need an existing Case 1840 or 1845C to install it into. The new-other condition also differs from the new condition listed on the complete loaders, so it's a parts purchase rather than a whole-machine purchase.

Final recommendation by use case

Choose the 24HP Skid Steer Loader if you want a complete compact machine with the highest engine output here, a four-in-one bucket, and two attachments.

Choose the TYPHON STOMP 502 if you prefer a Honda gas engine, radial lift, and a narrow tracked profile for tighter access.

Choose the SDA-140T if you want a ride-on seat type with vertical lift and a lower list price than the two top loaders.

Choose the 1347609C1 radiator if you need a cooling repair part for a Case 1840 or 1845C.
