“Moves pallets and rock all day without flinching. The Yanmar turbo diesel has serious muscle, and that torque is a game changer — a beast.”
Built to last

Feature 01
23.2 HP Yanmar® 3TNV80FT turbocharged 3-cylinder diesel — EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V, with electric start and 750 cold-crank amps. Fires up dependably in any weather.

Feature 02
Ride standing at the rear for fast mount and dismount — step on and off in seconds for loading, grading and tight maneuvering.

Feature 03
Standard mini skid-steer mounting runs buckets, augers, trenchers, tillers, grapples and forks — tooling you may already own typically bolts right on.

Feature 04
A 12 gpm auxiliary circuit at 3,000 psi drives powered attachments at full output — run augers, trenchers and tillers with real muscle.

Feature 05
The SK1000 directs 12 HP to the attachment and 11.2 HP to the ground drive — the ideal balance of attachment power and travel speed on any jobsite.

Feature 06
A completely open roller track design sheds mud instead of packing it in — easier cleanup, simpler maintenance and just 4.1 psi of ground pressure on turf.

Feature 07
Rated operating capacity of 1,015 lb — 35% of its 2,882 lb tipping capacity. Real material-moving muscle for a machine this compact.

Feature 08
The Yanmar turbo diesel meets EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V standards for cleaner operation on enclosed, residential and noise-sensitive jobsites.

Feature 09
Engineered to the same durability standards behind Ditch Witch underground construction equipment — compact never meant fragile.
Technical specs
Power and speed, together
By directing 12 HP to the attachment and 11.2 HP to the ground drive, the SK1000 hits hard and moves fast without compromising one for the other. The open roller track design sheds mud instead of packing it in, and at 4.1 psi on 9-inch tracks it works across finished ground without tearing it up. Standard mini skid-steer mounting means the buckets, augers and trenchers you already own typically bolt straight on.

The SK1000 moves serious material all day without breaking a sweat. The extra torque shows the second you load the bucket, and it starts on the first turn every time.

Loaded it out to a grading job that used to need a full-size machine. The stand-on platform makes getting on and off fast — saved me a full day.

Runs the same auger and bucket I already owned — no adapters needed. Way better than renting a mini every weekend for my landscaping crew.

The Yanmar turbo diesel surprised me — smooth, quiet and strong for the size. Turn the key and go. Already put 30+ hours on it with zero issues.

Bought it for residential grading and drainage. Handles soft turf and hard-packed clay equally well. The open roller tracks barely leave a mark.

Lifts pallets my old machine could not touch — the 1,015 lb operating capacity is the real deal. Great value for a genuine Ditch Witch machine.
