This website offers innovative products designed to accessorize a skid loader. Here's some of what's available:
  Panoramic safety mirror: The 18-in. mirror has a convex shape and is designed to mount directly in front of the operator. It bolts to the overhead safety cage. A knob is used to adjust the mirror up or down. Gives you nearly 360 degrees of visibility and eliminates the blind spot behind your rear tires that can't be seen from operator's seat. No drilling is necessary on newer model machines.
  Sells for $33 plus S&H.
  Skidsteer cab heater: This 22,000 btu, 12-volt heater mounts flat, upright, sideways, etc. Other heaters are available, including under-the-seat models.
  Sells for $203.99 plus S&H.
  Uni-hitch: This hitch is designed to be bolted on over the cutting edge of any front-end loader bucket. Lets you use your skid loader to move empty trailers around your job site. It's designed to be used on empty and under 10,000 GVW trailers only. Requires safety chain.
  Sells for $85 plus S&H.
  Tailgate locks: Lets you use a padlock to secure the rear tailgate.
  Sells for $25 plus S&H.
  Uni-Pro anti-theft switch kit: Interrupts the circuit to the electronic solenoid that activates the fuel pump. The engine turns over but won't start. Works on diesel models only. The kit consists of connectors that plug into the existing wiring. It works better than other anti-theft wiring kits which mount between the battery cables and completely disable the engine, because the thief knows he can still use the vehicle's master switch to start the engine.
  Sells for $54 plus S&H.
  Door protection kit: Designed to shut off the machine's loader controls whenever the door is open. Keeps the loader from accidentally ripping off the door. The kit consists of connectors that plug into the wiring between the lap bar lock switch and a switch mounted on the door.
  Sells for $42 to $83.70 plus S&H.  Auxiliary electrical tester: Connects to 14 or 8-pin accessory connector on front of machine. When switches are operated from the cab, lights illuminate to indicate which pins are powered. Makes this traditionally two-man task a one-man operation.
  Designed for Bobcat, Case, and Cat skid loaders.
  Sells for $137 plus S&H.
  ZF transmission electrical tester: Connects to the ZF transmission in Case or Deere wheel loaders to test electrical and clutch operations. When switches are operated from the cab, lights illuminate to indicate which pins are powered.
  Sells for $325 plus S&H.
  Bobcat attachment controller: Operates new attachments on old machines or on machine without 7-pin or 14-pin auxilliary electric. For use on brooms, sweepers, SG series stump grinders, etc.
  Sells for $187 to $267 depending on number of functions.
  The company also offers used parts and manuals, with many manuals available for older equipment.
