Heavy-Duty Trenching Bucket
The new heavy-duty trenching bucket makes light work out of the heaviest digging. Operators can equip their E145 excavator with 24-, 25-, and 42-inch sizing options to upgrade their capabilities on the jobsite.

Heavy-Duty Grading Bucket
The versatile, heavy-duty grading bucket helps deliver added capacity for operators working to move material on the jobsite. The bucket is especially beneficial for operators looking to easily finish, grade, backfill, or clean ditches. This attachment can be pinned on, quick coupled, or utilized with a thumb.

Hydraulic Quick Coupler
With the hydraulic quick coupler, operators can easily switch out their attachment. The coupler uses a pin grabber style and will only release in a curled position to ensure safe and secure coupling. Operators can change attachments from the security of the large excavator cab. Plus, there are no grease points, so maintenance is kept at a minimum.

HT Thumbs (Main Pin)
HT thumbs use a hydraulic cylinder to give operators up to 137 degrees of rotation. The HT thumbs are compatible with 36- and 42-inch buckets. This attachment is beneficial for operators in demolition and land-clearing applications.
Pro-Link Thumbs
Progressive link thumbs provide up to 180 degrees of rotation for versatility on the jobsite. The thumbs follow the bucket throughout the entire work cycle, improving material pickup and placement close to the machine. The new thumbs are compatible with 36- and 42-inch buckets.
John Deere is expanding the capabilities of its compact track loaders with new grading attachments and an equipment protection option. The additions include two SmartGrade box blades for the 333 and 335 P-Tier models and an integrated fire suppression system for large-frame machines.
The updates aim to provide customers with more flexibility to use the machines for different jobs while improving service access and everyday operation.
Public agencies responsible for maintaining large properties have several updated mower options from John Deere. The refreshed Z700 ZTrak lineup adds upgraded engines, transmissions, mower decks, and operator features across four models.
For public works operations handling infrastructure, road, and utility projects, DEVELON has added a new 33-metric-ton excavator to its equipment lineup. The DX300LC-9 combines updated controls with technology designed to address operator safety, equipment monitoring, and machine operation.
Equipment used every day in fleet maintenance shops comes with its own set of safety considerations. Following an 18-month redesign and testing process, BendPak's Ranger tire changers and wheel balancers have received certification to applicable U.S. and Canadian safety standards.
Public works operators traditionally switch positions and controls each time they reposition a backhoe during excavation. JCB's new Dual Drive system is designed to allow operators to move the machine while remaining at the excavator controls.
Slap Shot Contact Cleaner combines fast contaminant removal, rapid evaporation, moisture displacement, no-wipe
cleaning, non-conductive performance, and residue-free cleaning into a single solution.
New Classic and Pro compact loaders include enhanced controls, operator-assist technology, and jobsite awareness systems that may support municipal operations.
