Cold Planers

View as

A dedicated cold planer for skid steers turns your machine into a compact milling machine for precise asphalt repairs.

These cold planer attachments are built for professional road construction crews who need consistent cutting depth and smooth transitions between road surfaces. With high-torque motor options and optimized hydraulic circuits, a skid steer cold planer can match the accuracy of larger machines on tight city streets. For broader resurfacing work, many contractors pair these units with our Skid Steer Mower collection to control roadside vegetation.

Owning the right cold planer lets your crew handle asphalt removal, asphalt milling, and utility patching without waiting on subcontractors running large asphalt milling machines. That keeps schedules tight, improves productivity, and gives you the milling precision you need for dependable resurfacing work. 

What Sets our Cold Planers Apart

  • High-Production Milling: Our planer line includes models for skid steer and compact track machines with high-flow requirements, delivering extreme-duty performance that rivals road planers used in highway work.

  • Precision Depth Control: Adjustable skis and integrated depth control hardware maintain accurate milling depth, even when the existing pavement contour changes or you hit a rut.

  • Engineered Cutting System: Heavy milling drums and premium cutting tools are designed to handle asphalt and concrete, leaving a consistent milled surface ready to pave.

  • Rugged Build: Heavy plate steel, reinforced side plates, and guarded hoses create a cold planer that is durable enough for daily road reconstruction and utility trenching.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Cold Planer

  • Hydraulic Flow & Pressure: Check your skid steer’s hydraulic flow (GPM) and psi rating. High-flow skid-steer cold planer attachments typically require higher GPM to maintain steady drum speed under load.

  • Cutting Width & Depth: Match the cutting width and max milling depth to your work. Narrow cold planers excel at utility cuts and pothole repair, while wider units handle larger patch areas and road planer-style work.

  • Control Package: Look for models with electric-over-hydraulic joystick controls for side shift, tilt, and depth, giving the operator better control on tight jobs.

  • Material Handling: Consider how you will manage milled material. Some contractors prefer simple edge milling, while others work around larger milling machines with a sweeper and bucket for cleanup.

  • Machine Compatibility: Verify that your skid steer attachment setup and coupler match the chosen cold planer and that your loader has enough auxiliary hydraulic capacity to run it safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can a skid steer cold planer be used for?

A skid steer cold planer is used for asphalt milling, pothole repair, utility cuts, and prepping asphalt and concrete for overlays. It allows you to remove a controlled layer of existing pavement so patches bond properly and transitions stay smooth.

How much hydraulic flow do I need to run a cold planer?

Most skid steer cold planers require medium- to high-flow hydraulics. Check each model’s GPM and PSI specifications and ensure your machine meets the minimum GPM and PSI ratings. Undersized flow will reduce drum speed and hurt cut quality.

How do I choose the right cutting width?

Pick a width that matches your typical work. Narrow drums (around 12–18 inches) are ideal for utility trench cuts and tight jobsite work, while wider models handle patching lanes or approaches more efficiently with fewer passes.

Are the cutting teeth and drums replaceable?

Yes. The cutting teeth and many milling drums on our cold planers are replaceable, so you can keep the attachment milling cleanly even after hundreds of hours. Regularly inspect the tools and rotate or replace them as needed.

Can these planers handle concrete as well as asphalt?

Many of our cold planer models are rated for both asphalt and concrete, although asphalt cold planer work is more common. Always review the individual product specs and use the proper cutting tools for the material.

How is depth controlled during milling?

Depth is controlled through adjustable skis and hydraulic or manual depth controls. On advanced models, hydraulics tied to your in-cab joystick let you fine-tune milling depth and tilt, delivering the milling precision you need for a clean, even milled surface.
