Specialist Attachments
Beyond the bucket range we build the tools for the awkward jobs — ripping, raking, screening, trenching and watercourse work. All available to suit Safelock®, Pro-Lok® and Uni-Lok® couplers.
Ripper Tooth
A single heavy shank for breaking up compacted ground, frost, hardpan and old surfaces before you dig.
Trapezoidal V-Bucket
Cuts a clean V-profile trench in one pass — drainage channels, field ditches and cable runs.
Brush Rake
Curved tines gather brush, roots and cut timber while soil falls through, so you move the material and leave the ground.
Land Clearance Rake
A heavier rake for site clearance — lifting stumps, roots and buried debris out of the ground.
Reed Bucket
A slotted profile for dyke and watercourse work: it lifts reed, silt and weed and lets the water drain straight back out.
Trenching / Cable Bucket
A narrow-profile tool for cable and duct trenches, cutting only as wide as the run needs and keeping backfill down.
Widths, tine spacing and pick-up are made to your specification. Tell us the job and we will advise.
Adapter Plates
Plates let an attachment built for one pick-up run on another, so older buckets and bought-in tools join the rest of your fleet.
Hammer Adapter
Mounts a hydraulic breaker to your machine, so the hammer picks up on the same system as the rest of your attachments.
Safelock® Universal Mounting Plate
Made specifically for the Harford Safelock® Dedicated Quick Hitch System to allow easy pick-up of any attachment.
