Skid Steer Attachment Hire in Melksham, Wiltshire
A working farmyard rarely needs just one task done. Swapping attachments on the same skid steer gets through clearance, breaking and feed handling in one visit.
Bringing a separate machine for every farmyard task wastes a day that could run on one skid steer with a changing attachment instead.
A Farmyard Day Rarely Means One Task
A working farmyard visit often covers clearance, breaking up old concrete and handling feed, all in the same morning, each needing a different attachment on the same base machine.
A simpler single-task job rarely needs this range of kit, but a busy farmyard running several tasks in one visit usually does.
Coppard fits the attachments needed for the whole day to one skid steer, so the farm is not paying for several separate machines to cover separate tasks. A simpler single-task job rarely needs this range of kit, but a busy farmyard running several tasks in the same visit usually does, and planning the order in advance avoids a wasted trip for an attachment not yet needed.
Our Skid Steer Attachment Range
Every attachment option sits on our Skidsteer Attachments collection, with the full base machine range linked from our Melksham Forklift Rental Service page.
Buckets, breakers, forks and trenching attachments all fit the same quick-hitch system, so a change between tasks takes minutes rather than a trip back to the yard.
Call 01380 828988 with a rough running order for the day, and the right attachments can be sent out together from the start. A worn cutting edge on a breaker point is also replaced as part of routine maintenance, not charged to the customer as extra wear on a busy farm contract. This check happens on every attachment leaving the yard, whatever farm it is heading to that day.
Skid Steer Attachments for Wiltshire Farmyards
Farms running clearance work ahead of a new building usually need the breaker first, then a bucket once rubble is cleared and groundwork begins.
Feed handling tends to sit alongside both, often on the same day where livestock still needs managing while building work continues elsewhere on the yard.
Mentioning the rough proportion of each task, not just the total hours, helps the depot decide which attachments to send as standard and which to hold back. Feed handling often runs alongside both tasks, particularly where livestock still needs managing while building work continues elsewhere on the same farm. A written running order also helps where more than one crew works the same farmyard on the same day.
What's Included With Every Skid Steer Attachment
Every attachment is checked and logged before leaving the yard. Call 01380 828988 and a trenching attachment can be added where the job moves into laying a service run partway through.
A worn cutting edge on a breaker point is replaced as routine maintenance between hires, never charged to the customer as extra wear.
A spare set of quick-hitch pins rides on the lorry as standard, so losing one on a busy farmyard is never the reason a swap gets delayed. Where the running order on the day changes, attachments already booked can usually be reshuffled without losing the slot. This flexibility matters most on a farmyard where the task list can still shift right up to the morning of the visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can clearance, breaking and feed handling all happen on the same visit?
Yes, with the attachment swapped on the same skid steer rather than three separate machines booked. A rough running order for the day, even an approximate one, helps the depot decide which attachments travel out together and which follow later. A spare set of pins is kept on most deliveries as well, since losing one on a busy farmyard should never be the reason a swap is delayed.
What happens if a breaker point wears down mid-job?
A worn cutting edge is replaced as part of routine maintenance between hires, not charged to the farm as extra wear. If a point wears out mid-job, ring the depot and a replacement attachment can usually reach the farm the same day. Where the point wears faster than expected on particularly hard material, flag this to the depot so a tougher edge can be sent on the next visit.
Can a trenching attachment be added partway through a job?
Yes, a trenching attachment can be added where a clearance job moves into laying a service run partway through the farm project. Mention the change as soon as it is known, and the attachment can be scheduled in alongside whatever is already on site. A trenching attachment can also be added where the clearance job moves into laying a service run partway through the farm project.
Is it cheaper to book the full attachment set upfront?
Usually, yes, since booking the full expected set at the start avoids negotiating each attachment separately as the job progresses. Where the job might not need everything, the depot can still hold a provisional booking for the extras. Booking the full expected set at the start, even if some arrive later, usually works out simpler than negotiating each one as the job progresses. Where the job turns out smaller than expected, any unused attachment is simply returned at no extra cost.

This applies to every attachment in the Melksham range, not only breakers used on harder surfaces.
