A skid loader, skid-steer loader, skidsteer, or 'bobcat' is a small, rigid-frame, engine-powered machine with lift arms used to connect a wide variety of labor-saving tools or attachments. These single person vehicles use differential steering, in which the left and right wheel pairs are operated at different speeds, and the machine turns by skidding or dragging its fixed-orientation wheels across the ground. The extremely rigid frame and strong wheel bearings prevent the torsional forces caused by this dragging motion from damaging the machine.
