Attachment Comparisons
The same job can be done with different attachments, but one of them always does it faster and cheaper. These pages explain that difference.
The most expensive mistake in attachment selection is not buying the wrong one; it is buying something close to the right one without knowing the difference. Breaking ground with a breaker where a ripper would do costs fuel and tools; attacking rock with a ripper where a breaker is needed wears the machine out and makes no progress.
We do not take sides in these comparisons, because we do not need to: we manufacture everything in the matrix. Whichever you choose, you buy it from us, so giving you the right answer serves us too.
For model-level numeric comparison, see the product pages and the selector tools; these pages explain which attachment wins in which job.
