Anything else? Give us a call: +49 2747 9121752
Will the skidding tongs fit my machine?
The CII mounting is the same on all Minimog mini skid steers. We check whether the attachment suits your machine by looking at hydraulics, couplings and attachment weight.
Can I test the skidding tongs first?
Of course. We bring a machine and the skidding tongs to you and try them out on your ground.
Can I buy the skidding tongs without a machine?
Yes. If you already have a mini skid steer with a matching CII mounting, you can buy the skidding tongs on their own.
