  • MARKET LEADING POWER
    • Powered by a 59-hp (44 kW) Yanmar® turbo-charged diesel engine, making it the most powerful stand-on skid steer in its class, capable of handling wide range of hardscape, landscape and tree care projects typically suited for full-size skid steers and compact track loaders.
    • Provides an operating capacity of 3,100 lbs (1,406 kg) – 50 percent more than its closest stand-on compact track loader competitor – to accommodate larger loads and a higher volume of material.
    • Delivers 5,500 lbs (2,495 kg) of breakout force, offering optimal power when operators need to lift and move heavy loads with a bucket.
    • At 7,600 lbs (3,447 kg), the SK3000 weighs much less than comparable full-size skid steers. This gives operators the power required for a variety of jobs in a smaller package, improving maneuverability and offering easy transportation without the need of a CDL.
    • Putting power where it’s needed most, the SK3000 directs up to 51 hp to the attachment – more than any other machine in its class – for efficient and productive use of hydraulic attachments
    • A new, patent-pending Smart Throttle™ feature is combined with an operator presence function and quickly matches engine speed to load demand, providing greater fuel efficiency and productivity.
  • UNBEATABLE PRODUCTIVITY
    • Equipped with patent-pending features, the integrated hydraulic system controls gives operators the ability to control all machine functions concurrently, allowing for more intuitive and efficient operation.
    • An advanced hydraulic system with an 8-, 14-, and 22-gpm flow setting – a Ditch Witch exclusive – offers added attachment versatility, allowing operators to select the right flow for each job.
    • Featuring a 118-inch hinge-pin height at full-rated capacity, the SK3000 can dump into a standard dump truck.
    • The machine can travel up to 5.8 mph in forward and reverse for increased cycle times.
    • Hydraulic-operated attachment pins help reduce overall effort when swapping attachments. Additionally, operators no longer need to get off the machine to swap non-powered attachments, saving significant time and improving productivity.
  • SUPERIOR COMFORT
    • Designed based on direct customer feedback, the SK3000 features a best-in-class 332-in2 (843-cm2) operator platform for superior comfort and stability during long hours on the job.
    • The open, standing operator station provides full 360-degree visibility to all surroundings.
    • An easy-on, easy-off operator platform, with integrated suspension, enhances operator comfort and reduces the risks associated with climbing over an attachment to access the cab.
    • With optional automatic ride control, the machine provides a smooth, comfortable ride with outstanding maneuverability and stability – even when transporting heavy loads across rough terrain.
    • The ergonomic operator’s station comes standard with dual-lever ground drive controls or an optional single-lever joystick, allowing the operator to control each track independently for precise mobility on a variety of jobsites.
  • ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
    • A class-leading, five-inch full-color LCD display provides direct visibility and insight into all engine diagnostics.
    • With passcode protected keyless ignition, owners and operators can have full control of who has access to the machine, improving security and theft defense.
    • Four LED work lights on the front and rear of the machine offer increased visibility during night or low-light conditions.
    • Three USB ports allow for convenient software updates and provide easy access to charge electronics.
    • An optional dual self-leveling kit helps keep loads level as they are raised and lowered using forks or other attachments.
    • Available with the Orange Intel™ Fleet Management System, equipment owners can keep track of their fleet’s performance with critical insights to help increase business efficiency and profitability.
  • DURABLE DESIGN, SIMPLIFIED MAINTENANCE
    • The construction-grade, durable design is made for heavy-duty jobs, leading to extended machine life and increasing overall ROI.
    • With no daily maintenance and no daily grease zerks, maintenance is simplified, and total cost of ownership reduced.
