Total Landscape Care reached out to experts from John Deere, ASV and Toro to find out which attachments seem to resonate with landscapers. Buckets (specifically a 4-in-1), pickup brooms, augers, nursery or pallet forks, forestry mulchers, landscape rakes and trenchers topped the list, according to these experts. Buckets and pickup brooms Buckets are basic. “They’re used for anything from moving materials around the jobsite, digging, grading and carrying loads,” says Kyle Cartwright, marketing manager with Toro. “So, it all centers on the bucket itself.” Regardless of the project at hand, landscapers can always find a Buck Storlie, ASV product line manager, says the use for their favorite attachment 4-in-1 bucket is the most popular type of bucket for when out in the field. landscapers. Compared with a standard bucket, “once you’ve Attachments Idea Book brought to you by TotalLandscapeCare.com 3 most popular attachments dumped the material, you can also open the 4-in-1 bucket and dump, drag and level the material a little quicker,” says Storlie. “You can also work a little closer to objects, such as buildings, see your edge and put on a nice finish.” Because landscapers must always make the most of their time and the amount of space available to haul equipment, having attachments that can serve multiple purposes helps land- scapers get a higher return on investment, ac- cording to Justin Stegar, inside district manager for John Deere, compact construction equipment . “Landscapers value versatile attachments that save time and that they can use across multiple jobs,” says Stegar. “Multi-purpose buckets are capable of bulldozing, scraping, loading, metering and clamping material, which can be extremely beneficial for maintenance or installation.” Whether a landscaper is developing and shaping a project site, clearing rocks or debris Forks are a workhorse attachment as they help landscapers move an abundance of material. or loading material in and out, Stegar says a multi-purpose bucket will be able to handle it all. decorative patios, sidewalks and parking lots during Grant Van Tine, product marketing manager, com- landscape construction.” pact wheel loaders, John Deere Construction & For- estry, says because of their versatility, general purpose Forestry mulchers and buckets are one of the most used attachments among landscape rakes landscapers.

Opting to use high-flow attachments can seem like an unnecessary expense, with certain attachments such as augers having both standard-flow and high-flow models available. And high-flow attach- ments tend to run $1,000 to $2,000 high- er than standard-flow options, depending on the manufacturer. Yet while high-flow attachments and machines come with more up-front costs, they can earn back that money with increased productivity, our experts say. High-flow attachments perform more efficiently and complete jobs faster than standard-flow attachments. Chris Trampush, a skid steer loader product manager with JCB, uses the ex- ample of clearing a three-acre field with a standard-flow mower attachment to explain the difference in efficiency. “The blades on that attachment are not going to spin as fast as if I had a high- flow attachment,” Trampush says. “So, it’s going to take me twice as long to mow that field than it would with a high-flow mower where the blades are moving a lot quicker. Your high-flow mowers are only working 50 percent of the time versus Attachments that often need the additional a standard-flow attachment, where it flow and pressure of high-flow hydraulics include augers, mulching heads, rotary cutters, trenchers and snow blowers.

If you have a variety of jobs, a high-flow machine and attachment will cover most job demands, says Dan Kakareka, product specialist – CE Products, New Holland North America. Follow the Triple A rule of “ap- plication, application, application” when determining whether or not to use high flow, says Diego Butzke, backhoe loader product manager, JCB.

Since my last editorial just before Christmas, which addressed safety levels on excavator quick hitches, yet another fatal accident has occurred. This time it happened in Sweden. I don’t know all the circumstances surrounding the accident, but they’re probably not all that important for the people who lost a family member, friend or workmate. I suffer with everybody who loses someone close in an accident, no matter where or how it happens. But beyond that, I also think of the person at the controls or behind the steering wheel. Whether the operator had a part in the accident or not, sentence has already been passed. Spending the rest of one’s life wrestling with what might have been done differently is something I would wish on no one. I dare say the operator never wants to see an excavator again. And making the usual trite comment that it’s all down to the human factor will do nothing to stop the next accident. All of the excavators at our workplaces today are built according to the same established principles and standards. What’s worse, almost all of the machines supplied today work in the same way. Well, is this enough? If it is, all of the incidents and fatal accidents have been in vain.
