Scoop attachment for Ventrac owners
The HE 300/480 Slip Scoop from Ventrac transports materials such as soil, sand and gravel at construction sites or in a backyard. Slip Scoops can handle excavation, backfilling, digging and grading. They are hydraulically controlled from the driver’s seat, and Slip Scoops attach quickly with Ventrac’s Minute Mount System.
Go for maximum traction with Grouser Bar Tracks
Grouser Bar Tracks use an open bar design providing both traction and flotation in soft, muddy and loose soil conditions. Crossbars permit maximum traction by allowing material to squeeze into the track for the machine to push against. Flotation is increased by as much as 50 percent.
Aerate soil while keeping roots intact
The Aera-vator from Grasshopper is available with 50-percent more tines to loosen the soil. The oscillating steel tines aerate by puncturing the turf with minimal damage to the root system, preserving root development. Available in 40- and 60-inch models, the Aera-vator works to improve drainage of turf, lift and freshen beds without disturbing mulch, and prepare ground for seeding and sodding.
Towable dirt scraper provides earthmoving capabilities
Hoelscher’s towable dirt scraper attachment turns compact tractors into earthmovers. Designed for 35- to 50-horsepower tractors, the DB Series scrapers are available in 5- and 6-foot cutting widths that carry up to 1.3 cubic yards. A trunnion-style hitch mounted to the lower arms of the tractor’s three-point hitch allows for 90-degree turns, with up to 30 degrees of oscillation.
