EXCAVATOR ATTACHMENTS
FOR Florida.
Florida's forests, wetlands, stormwater systems and earthwork requirements make drainage geometry, slope control and debris handling especially relevant—while machine-specific fitment remains essential.
Purpose-built control for water and loose material.
Use this guide to compare tools for drainage · wet-site shaping · cleanup. The state context below explains the applications; your machine, material and required finish determine the final attachment. These are selection recommendations, not statewide sales rankings.
Florida DOT maintains dedicated statewide guidance for hydrology, stormwater management, open channels, culverts and temporary drainage design.

View product →CHOOSING FOR YOUR JOB
For a Florida drainage job, how do I choose between ditching, trapezoid and tilting buckets?
A ditching bucket suits cleanup and finish shaping with a smooth edge. A trapezoid bucket is configured around a defined channel cross-section. A tilting bucket adds angle adjustment for changing contours. Send the required bottom width, side slopes and material conditions before selecting capacity. For a tilting option, confirm hydraulic compatibility as well as pin-on or coupler fitment.

INQUIRE.
- Start with the required channel or slope profile, not bucket width alone.
- Confirm hydraulic flow and pressure for tilting or grapple configurations.
- Wet-site work may involve permitting and environmental constraints outside attachment selection.
- Always provide machine make and model, coupler type and required pin-on measurements. See the measurement guide →
