Attachments You Can Consider When Contemplating Bobcat Hire

Posted on

Landscaping projects on your yard, whether to create space for an additional structure or to install a swimming pool, tend to be quite an extensive affair. You may start off thinking all you need to do is clear away a few brambles and bushes, only to find that there are also large boulder that you would have to tackle too. This is why when contemplating excavation and earthmoving, you should opt for the most versatile type of equipment for the job. One of the more popular options for residential landscaping is bobcat hire. Not only does it afford you maneuverability in areas with limited space, but you can also choose an array of attachments to use in tandem with it to make your landscaping easier. Here are some of the different attachments that you can consider when contemplating bobcat hire.

A rock bucket for your bobcat hire

Rock buckets are attachments that make it easier for you to sift through the soil you are excavating. This enables you to eliminate any unwanted objects in the soil such as rocks. This way, you can still use the soil for your landscaping purposes without having to worry about run into boulders and rocks when construction begins. Rock buckets are also great if you are using your bobcat hire to clear your farmland of rocks and boulders in preparation for planting. Rock buckets work best with sandy soils as this type of soil easily trickles through the attachment.

An auger for your bobcat hire

An auger refers to a spiral drill attachment. Its main use is to dig holes, typically used when creating space for fence posts. This attachment saves you a significant amount of time when compared to try to dig these holes manually.

A concrete mixer for your bobcat hire

If you plan to use concrete after landscaping, then it would be a good idea to get a concrete mixer as an attachment for your bobcat hire. This attachment comprises a rotating bucket, similar to what is used with on cement mixers that are found on construction sites. The main difference is that the concrete mixer attachment is directly mounted on the bobcat, hence making it mobile. This way you can mix the concrete you need and then transfer it directly to where it is needed on your property. This is more convenient than having to use a wheelbarrow to transport this concrete.
