Tracked Skid Steers


Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why choose a tracked skid steer over a wheeled model?

    Tracked skid steers offer better traction, flotation, and stability on soft, muddy, or uneven ground. If you regularly work in rough terrain, the enhanced grip and lower ground pressure can reduce downtime and surface damage.

  • Are Hercules tracked skid steers built for Australian conditions?

    Yes. Our machines are engineered for tough Australian environments — from wet, boggy job sites to dry, rocky terrain — with durable undercarriages and components tested for local conditions.


  • How do maintenance reQ:uirements compare with wheeled skid steers?

    Tracked skid steers typically have more freQ:uent undercarriage inspections and track replacements. However, they reQ:uire fewer tire changes and offer longer operating windows in poor ground conditions, reducing delays.


  • What attachments are compatible with your tracked skid steers?

    Our models support a full range of attachments — buckets, augers, trenchers, brooms, forks, and more — allowing you to switch between earthmoving, site prep, and utility tasks with ease.


  • Can I finance or rent a tracked skid steer from Hercules?

    Yes. We offer flexible purchase, finance, and rental options tailored to project needs. Speak with our team to explore what's best for your workflow.


  • Do tracked skid steers perform well on sloped or hilly job sites?

    Absolutely. Their wider footprint and lower center of gravity make them more stable on inclines compared to wheeled units, provided proper operating procedures are followed.


  • What’s the typical ROI for contractors switching to tracked models?

    Contractors often report improved productivity in poor conditions, fewer delays, and lower surface repair costs. The increased uptime and task versatility can deliver strong long-term ROI.


  • Do you offer service and parts support Australia-wide?

    Yes. From our Yatala base, we provide national parts distribution and servicing. Our support doesn’t stop at the sale — we’re here to keep your machines working.
