Your piece of equipment, whether you use it for construction or agriculture, is versatile and powerful. However, it can always be made more versatile with the addition of the right attachments. Below, you’ll find a list of the most popular types of equipment attachments that you can choose to add to your machine.

Buckets

Once you’ve extracted material from the ground, you don’t want to load it into a truck by hand. Gone are the days of shoveling dirt into a wheelbarrow! Buckets can help speed up the excavation process greatly, as you can imagine. Bucket attachments come in many different options, from the general-purpose bucket meant to haul away up to 20 cubic feet of dirt, rocks, gravel, sand, or other debris. Specialized buckets are available for other purposes, such as hauling away broken-up concrete or snow, or even buckets that sift out rock from dirt.

Augers

Need to dig? Augers will let you burrow deep into the ground, using reverse rotation to easily back out, carrying material with them. These big rotating screw blades can cut through hard soil and clay to extract material as necessary. Augers can generally reach depths of 72 inches, but you can get extensions if you need to go deeper. The hydraulic power of your needs to be strong enough to carry larger augers, so make sure to match it.

Trenchers

Trenchers, as their name suggests, cut trenches of varying depth and width into hard ground for a variety of purposes. To reduce shock, the booms are spring-loaded and come with indicators to help you control where you’re digging. 42-inch booms are standard, but you can get trenchers with booms ranging from anywhere between 30 to 60 inches to suit your needs. You can create trenches up to 60 inches deep and a foot wide with these useful tools.
