- Hydraulic flow and pressure requirements for powered attachments
Always confirm fit and specs for your exact excavator model before you connect an attachment.

Should I rent or buy compact excavator attachments?
You should rent compact excavator attachments when you need a specialty attachment for a jobsite task, seasonal usability or short-term coverage for one project -- a weekend rental.
You should buy compact excavator attachments when an attachment will see frequent use and high utilization to provide long-term value across multiple jobs, increased productivity through fewer subcontracted tasks by reducing manual labor.
To decide whether to rent or buy, consider how often you will use the attachment, the project timeline, storage and maintenance needs, and your overall equipment budget.
Why use compact excavator attachments?
Compact excavator attachments turn one compact excavator into a do-more machine. Match the right tool to the work, cut downtime between tasks and get cleaner results without forcing the job with the wrong setup.
