All Vibe Drive skid steer models work with any brand of skid steer loader or compact track loader, including John Deere, Bobcat, CAT, Kubota, JCB, Case, New Holland, Komatsu, Hitachi, Takeuchi, Sany, and more.

The Badger, Pole-Cat, and Timber-Wolf models are compatible with machines of any size, including many models of compact stand-on loaders (mini track loaders / mini skid steers) including Ditch Witch, Kubota, and Bobcat.

The Long John, however, is only compatible with larger skid steers that can safely handle the 1,500 lbs weight of this model.

Each Vibe Drive skid steer model requires a hydraulic flow rate between 10–26 GPM (gallons per minute). We also recommend that your machine have a case drain line, which most do. In the rare case it does not, an alternative hydraulic motor can be provided for machines without one, though this isn’t the preferred option.

As noted, the Long John model is compatible only with large skid steers and requires an electrical connection to power the wired remote control.

All Vibe Drive skid steer models use a universal quick-attach mounting plate that connects just like your bucket or other attachments. Once mounted, there are typically three (3) quick-connect hoses to attach: two (2) half-inch (½”) hydraulic pressure and return hoses—interchangeable due to the bi-directional motor system—and one (1) three-eighths-inch (⅜”) case drain line.

No. With thousands of units in operation across North America, we’ve never had a customer report vibration-related damage to their machine. Custom rubber isolator bushings separate the vibrating head from the skid steer, minimizing vibration transfer. Operators are often surprised by how smooth and quiet the cab feels during operation.
