Skid Pro cold planers at a glance

1. Standard Flow Cold Planer

Built for standard-flow skid steers, it pairs a direct drive motor with a 12″ cutting width and an adjustable depth of cut up to 5″. Depth and tilt are manual, with easy-view gauges, so there is no electric-over-hydraulic wiring harness. A ground-engaging frame helps reduce vibration to the cab.

2. High Flow Cold Planer

Built for high-flow loaders, it offers five cutting widths from 18″ to 48″ and a depth of up to 6″. A piston motor and planetary drive deliver torque, and hydraulic depth and tilt controls give smooth operation. Operating weight is up to 2,685 lbs.

How to choose

1. Check your loader’s auxiliary flow: standard-flow machines point to the Standard Flow planer; high-flow machines can run the High Flow planer.
2. Choose the cut width for your work: 12″ for narrow trenching-style cuts, wider options for larger areas.
3. Confirm your loader’s lift capacity can handle the planer weight.
4. Decide whether you need the water kit for dust suppression.
