The conventional bucket of many skid loaders can be replaced with a variety of specialized buckets or attachments, many powered by the loader's hydraulic system. The list of attachments available is virtually endless. Some examples include Dura Graders,  [[backhoe]], hydraulic breaker, pallet forks, angle broom, sweeper, [[auger (drill)|auger]], mower, [[snow blower]], stump grinder, tree spade, [[Trencher (machine)|trencher]], dumping hopper, pavement miller, ripper, tillers, grapple, tilt, roller, snow blade, wheel saw, [[cement]] mixer, and wood chipper machine.

Some models of skid steer now also have an automatic attachment changer mechanism. This allows a driver to change between a variety of terrain handling, shaping, and leveling tools without having to leave the machine, by using a hydraulic control mechanism to latch onto the attachments. Traditionally hydraulic supply lines to powered attachments may be routed so that the couplings are located near the cab, and the driver does not need to leave the machine to connect or disconnect those supply lines. Recently, manufacturers have also created automatic hydraulic connection systems that allow changing attachments without having to manually disconnect/connect hydraulic lines
