Auger, Mulcher, Bucket, Leveler, Hammer: When to Use Each
A practical guide to the five tools in the yellow V900 package — which attachment to run for fencing, clearing, grading, and breakout.
The Machinery Village yellow package is designed so one trailer haul covers dig, clear, grade, and break work. Here is when each attachment earns its keep.
Hydraulic Auger — Choose the auger for fence lines, deck footings, tree plantings, and any repetitive hole pattern. The V900’s high-pressure hydraulics keep torque consistent in tough soils.
Forestry Mulcher — Run the mulcher for brush belts, trail opening, and lot-edge cleanup. It turns saplings and undergrowth into a fine mulch instead of haul-away piles.
4-in-1 Combo Bucket — Your everyday multi-tool: clamshell grab, scraper edge, and dozer-style push. Ideal for material handling, cleanup, and light site prep between specialized tools.
Leveler — After rough cut, the leveler fine-grades driveways, pads, and yards so finish work looks professional without a separate machine.
Hydraulic Hammer — Concrete, rock, and hard pack. Keep the hammer for selective breakout where a full-size excavator will not fit.
Swap order on a typical day: dig with the auger, clear with the mulcher, shape with the bucket and leveler, then break only where needed. That is the yellow package story — five tools, one compact carrier.
