From mid-sized wheel loaders moving snow at the mall to compact loaders clearing neighborhood sidewalks, wheel loaders have proven to be an indispensable, versatile, and capable tool for both commercial and residential snow removal. A simple and easy way to squeeze even more performance and profit from this valuable piece of machinery is by switching to an application-specific radial tire.

Today’s skid steers work in a wide range of conditions, encountering everything from rock, mud, and sand to gravel, asphalt, and concrete. One thing that remains the same no matter the surface is the need to minimize spinning, maximize traction, and increase longevity. There’s no better way to accomplish all of these outcomes than with application-specific skid steer tires. Whether you’re looking for traction, speed, or durability—or some other attribute—ATG has a skid steer tire for you.

Champagne and New Year’s Eve, grilling and Independence Day, candy and Halloween—food has long been tied to the celebration of holidays, but perhaps none more so than turkey and Thanksgiving. It’s hard to imagine sitting down to the dinner table on the fourth Thursday of November and not seeing the iconic dish gracing the center of the table. According to the National Turkey Federation, as many as 88% of Americans eat turkey at Thanksgiving. The food and holiday have a unique history together; keep reading to learn some interesting facts about turkey and Thanksgiving you might not know.

A skid steer may be the most versatile piece of equipment on the farm—especially on a beef-feeding operation like Neil Grunzke's near Wells, Minnesota, where he uses his skid steer to move hay, load feed, shovel manure, and scoop snow. For most of their history these multi-purpose machines have been outfitted with basic, bar-tread, bias-ply tires. Last year, however, Grunzke upgraded his New Holland 225 skid steer to the radial Alliance 550 MultiUse tire to see if he could get longer service life out of his tires.

Skid steers are commonly tasked with working in harsh, tire-killing terrain, leading to frustration with unanticipated downtime and tires that don’t meet expectations. When adding to our broad range of skid steer tires, it felt logical to offer a solid tire for the most brutal conditions—enter the Galaxy Hulk SDS. Reminiscent of Home Improvement handyman Tim “The Toolman” Taylor’s catchphrase, “more power,” we souped up this special solid tire with more rubber! The result is a tire that increases machine uptime and operational efficiency, which adds up to extra dollars at the end of the year.
