Compact Track Loaders

Why Choose Used Track Skid Steers & Compact Track Loaders?

Proven Performance Across Leading Brands

Our inventory focuses on Caterpillar compact track loaders, with additional machines from
Bobcat, Kubota, John Deere, and other trusted manufacturers accepted on trade. Each machine is evaluated for performance, reliability, and jobsite readiness.

Buying used lets you get the capability you need—often late-model machines with modern features—at a lower upfront cost than new equipment.

As an authorized Cat dealer, Stowers provides local access to parts, service, and financing support—with expertise extending across multiple equipment brands.

Benefits of Compact Track Loaders

• Excellent traction on soft, muddy, or uneven terrain
• Reduced ground pressure compared to wheeled machines
• Strong stability on slopes and uneven surfaces
• Compatibility with a wide range of attachments
• Operator-focused cabs and modern control systems on many models

 
Compact track loaders are commonly chosen over wheeled skid steers when conditions require greater flotation and stability.

Tracked vs. Wheeled Skid Steers

Tracked Skid Steers / Compact Track Loaders

• Best for dirt, mud, sand, and uneven ground
• Improved stability and traction
• Common for grading, land clearing, mulching, and site prep

Wheeled Skid Steers

• Faster travel speed and lower operating costs
• Perform best on pavement and solid surfaces
• Well suited for loading, pallet handling, and urban job sites

 
This distinction helps buyers choose the right machine based on terrain and application—not just brand.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skid Steers & Compact Track Loaders

What is a compact track loader?

A compact track loader (CTL) is a skid steer–style machine that uses rubber tracks instead of wheels, providing improved traction, flotation, and stability on soft or uneven ground.
 

What’s the difference between tracked and wheeled skid steers?

Tracked machines excel in muddy or rough conditions, while wheeled skid steers are faster and better suited for hard surfaces like pavement or concrete.
 

Do you sell used skid steers from brands other than CAT?

Yes. While our inventory is primarily Caterpillar, we regularly carry Bobcat, Kubota, and John Deere machines taken in on trade. Availability varies by location and timing.
 

Can I finance a used skid steer or track loader?

Yes. We offer flexible financing options for qualified buyers across East Tennessee and surrounding areas.
 

Do you provide parts and service after the sale?

Absolutely. As a full-service dealer, Stowers offers ongoing parts and service support, with deep CAT expertise and multi-brand service capabilities.
