The authors propose an operating parameters calculation method for skid-steer loaders with a side turn with regard for their technical level. The calculation method is based on application of dimensionless criteria of design parameters’ interrelation. The article presents statistical analysis results with an estimation of coordination of the quantity of models produced by manufacturers with their operational mass for the retrospection period of 1972 - 2010. The tendency of producing models with the operational mass of up to 3000–3500 kg is defined. On the basis of calculating experiment in Mathcad environment regularities of operational parameters influence on an index of estimation efficiency are revealed.
