Attachments can change size quickly
A machine that looks compact in a listing may become wider, longer, taller, or heavier with attachments installed. Buckets, blades, forks, thumbs, mowers, plows, brooms, grapples, and implements should be mentioned.
If the attachment can be removed or folded, say whether it will travel that way.
Loose attachments need handling details
A loose bucket or implement is not automatically simple. It may need lifting support, securement space, palletizing, or a separate loading plan.
If the attachment is not connected to the machine, describe where it is and how it can be handled.
Skid steer has bucket attached and forks traveling loose beside it.
Extra bucket is at another yard and needs loading support.
Photos help identify what is included
Photos reduce confusion when a seller, auction listing, or buyer describes attachments differently. A wide photo of everything that travels is especially useful.
If an attachment is not moving, say so. That can matter too.
What to list before review
A short attachment list can prevent a quote from being based on only the base machine. Include what is attached, what is loose, and what can be removed.
- Mounted attachments
- Loose attachments
- Approximate attachment size
- Loading support for loose pieces
