Mini digger attachments explained

Buckets, quick hitch, auger, hydraulic breaker, thumb and pallet forks — what each mini digger attachment does and which to buy first.

By Rippa Machinery Ireland · Updated 29 September 2026

The right attachments turn one mini digger into a tool for dozens of jobs. Every Rippa machine page lists the attachments available for that model — add the ones you want when you request pricing.

Buckets

Quick hitch

Lets you change attachments in minutes instead of knocking out pins. If you'll swap tools often, it pays for itself quickly.

Auger

Drills clean holes for fence posts, tree planting and foundations. Choose bit sizes to match your posts.

Hydraulic breaker

Breaks concrete, rock and old foundations. Needs a machine with auxiliary hydraulics.

Hydraulic thumb

Clamps against the bucket to pick up logs, rocks, branches and demolition waste.

Pallet forks

Turn the machine into a light loader for moving pallets and materials around a yard.

Spare rubber tracks

Rubber tracks wear with use, especially on stony ground. A spare set keeps the machine working.
