You have a list of chores to do, and you have the equipment to help you do it. You just need the right attachments for the job, and you need them to fit your tractor or skid steer. What will fit your machine? How do you choose the right attachments? What are some common attachments that help save time and money? We can help.

HOW TO CHOOSE IMPLEMENTS FOR YOUR MACHINE

You likely wonder how to choose implements for your machine. The first step when choosing implements is to consider the type of machine you have. Each of these will have different attachments available, so let's start there.

• Tractors - When it comes to tractors, you typically have more horsepower than with a skid steer but also fewer options when it comes to attachments. Still, many of the most useful tools are available and with the additional strength, they may also be more effective depending on the chore.
• Skid steers - From augers and backhoe attachments to snow pushers and tree pullers, you will find a wide selection of attachments for your skid steer. The overall size and weight of this type of machine allow it to be used in more situations than you can usually find a tractor.
• Mini skid steers - Several of the same attachments for full-sized skid steers are available for the mini skid steer machines. This can make them just as helpful, especially considering the chore.

ARE ATTACHMENTS INTERCHANGEABLE?

So, are attachments interchangeable? Yes! Interchangeable attachments are one of the features that make tractors and skid steers such great investments. With just one machine, you can do the job of four or more separate ones. This cuts cost investment but also time. It's possible to fit a skid steer, Quick Tach, or United Attachments to most other machines with mount plates, three-point quick hitches, and conversion adapters.

WHY SIZE MATTERS WHEN CHOOSING ATTACHMENTS FOR YOUR MACHINE

After first considering the type of machine you have, it's time to think about why size matters when choosing attachments for your machine. There are two size factors to look at for every attachment.

The size dimensions of the attachment are important for several reasons. Depending on the job you're doing, the implement could be too small. It may not fit the items you are moving. If the implement is too large, it may not fit where you need it to go.

The second size consideration is weight. The weight of the attachment will reduce the weight capacity available to you while working. If your machine is smaller with a lower weight capacity to start with, the weight of the attachment will be much more important. You can also go with a lighter-duty implement, if appropriate, to free up weight capacity.
