Skid steer loader mower breaks down during construction

Apr 30, 2025

"SKID LOADER MOWER" HAS BECOME AN IMPORTANT MECHANICAL COMBINATION FOR EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION.

Due to its flexibility, versatility and high efficiency, it is widely used in lawn mowing in environments such as highway slopes, orchards, and grasslands. However, with the increase in frequency of use, construction occasionally encounters problems such as unstable equipment operation, insufficient speed of accessories, or incomplete mowing of the lawn. Understanding the common causes and effective solutions for "skid loader mower failures during construction" will not only help to ensure the life of the equipment, but also significantly improve work efficiency.

1. Analysis of common fault types

In actual operation, "skid loader hydraulic mower attachment cannot rotate normally" is one of the common problems. Usually, this type of fault manifests itself as the mowing blade cannot start, runs slowly, or makes abnormal noise. The main causes of this problem include insufficient pressure in the hydraulic system, hydraulic oil contamination, or oil circuit blockage.

Another common situation is "skid loader with mower suddenly stops in hot weather." This may be caused by engine overheating, excessive load on the hydraulic system, or cooling system failure. Especially during long-term operation in summer, if the coolant and oil temperature are not checked in time, it is easy to cause protective shutdown of the equipment.

In addition, some users reported that "the front mower of the skid loader mows unevenly", that is, the grass stubble left on the ground after operation is uneven, affecting the appearance and subsequent fertilization operations. Such problems are often related to blade wear, incorrect installation angle or too fast machine travel speed.

2. Deep-seated causes of equipment failure

After in-depth analysis, it can be found that the root cause of "lack of power during operation of the skid loader mower" is not as simple as surface failure. In many cases, it is caused by mismatched equipment selection. For example, some users use light skid loaders with heavy hydraulic mowing heads. This wrong combination of "skid loader and heavy mower are incompatible" will lead to low equipment efficiency and even damage the hydraulic system.

Another factor that is often overlooked is inadequate maintenance. Failure to replace the hydraulic oil for a long time and neglecting the details of "cleaning and maintenance of the blades of the skid loader mower" will lead to increased machine load and aggravated wear, and eventually unforeseen failures during construction.

3. Practical case sharing and maintenance suggestions

Take an operator engaged in highway greening maintenance as an example. When he used the "skid loader side-mounted mower" for slope operations, he found that the mowing head of the equipment shook violently and the weeds were stuck when cutting thick grass. After inspection, it was found that the blade shaft bearing was severely worn, and the gearbox lubricating oil was insufficient, resulting in poor rotation of the mowing head. After replacing the bearings and replenishing the lubricating oil, the equipment returned to normal.

It is recommended that users conduct a "routine inspection of the skid loader mower before operation" before use, including the amount of hydraulic oil, the degree of blade wear, and the tightening status of each connection part. Especially in the peak season with frequent use, daily inspections can effectively prevent sudden failures.

For equipment that has already failed, it should be shut down in time to find the fault point, and it is forbidden to "operate with a fault" to avoid causing greater losses. At the same time, it is recommended to equip a spare parts package, including common consumables such as hydraulic joints, blades, belts, etc., to cope with emergency repairs.

SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING RELIABILITY OF USE

In order to reduce the risk of "frequent failures during the construction of skid loader mowers", users should focus on brand quality and after-sales service when purchasing equipment. The "skid loader mower integrated system" launched by some professional brands is equipped with an overload protection function, which can automatically stop when the grass is blocked or the load is too heavy to avoid damage to the equipment.

At the same time, the operator should receive professional training, master the "skid loader mower safety operation process", correctly adjust the working speed and forward speed, and ensure that the mowing operation is completed efficiently and safely.

In general, although "failures during the construction of skid loader mowers" cannot be completely avoided, the risk can be completely minimized through scientific selection, reasonable use and standardized maintenance. In the future, with the improvement of the intelligence level of equipment, "intelligent skid loader mowers" with remote monitoring and automatic alarm functions will gradually become popular, providing safer and more efficient solutions for grassland maintenance.
