Not sure if the attachment you're considering will fit your machine? Here’s a complete guide to ensuring attachment compatibility.
1. Attachment Mounting Type
Your machine’s mounting plate must match the attachment’s plate for a proper fit. While most manufacturers now follow a "universal" standard, making many attachments interchangeable, there are still exceptions—so always double-check compatibility.
2. Hydraulic Connections and Flow Rate
If the attachment requires hydraulics, ensure that both the machine and attachment have compatible hydraulic couplers. Additionally, the machine’s auxiliary hydraulic flow rate must fall within the attachment’s required range. If the attachment doesn’t use hydraulics, you can skip this step.
3. Machine Lift Capacity
Your machine’s rated operating capacity (ROC) must be able to handle the attachment’s weight. For attachments like buckets and concrete mixers, don’t forget to factor in the weight of the material they’ll be carrying to avoid exceeding your machine’s limits.
If you're unsure about your machine's make or model, check your operator's manual or consult your equipment dealer.
