Don’t underestimate the power of compact excavators. Not only can they hold their own on the job site, with operating weights from 1.7 to 6 metric tons, but they’re also very versatile. Shoppa’s John Deere compact excavators are durable and reliable enough to be used for several applications. If you are in Harris County and looking for a compact excavator that will give you more, come to Shoppa’s and your wish will be fulfilled.
Backhoes are the most common attachment paired with excavators. It makes sense considering how versatile they are. This attachment can of course be used for excavation and digging tasks, but it also can be useful for small demolitions and moving materials. With its impressive durability and 180-swing, this implement is popular for a good reason.
Augers are great for deep digging jobs that require less surface area. A heavy-duty motor drives the planetary-gear auger deep into the ground for holes you need fast. This tool is excellent for digging post holes, putting up a fence, or planting trees.
Attachments like backhoes or augers are great for breaking up dirt but when it is time to work on tougher surfaces such as asphalt or concrete you need a little more muscle. That is where hydraulic hammers come in. You can pair these heavy-hitters with your excavator to work on demolition projects, excavation, or even road maintenance.
When you are done digging and left with loose chunks of earth lying around, you need something to smooth it out so you can start building. Plate compactors are just what you need. These hydraulic plate compactors use a heavy metal plate to compress materials such as dirt and gravel for a level and stable surface. John Deere plate compactors are designed specifically for trench, slope, and excavation compaction applications.
