Choosing the right attachments can make a mini excavator much more versatile.

Here are five practical options:
1. Bucket
  Essential for digging, trenching, backfilling, and cleanup.
2. Hydraulic Breaker
  Great for breaking concrete, brick, pavement, and small rocks.
3. Hydraulic Thumb
  Makes it easier to grab and move logs, rocks, branches, and debris.
4. Trenching Bucket
  Ideal for digging narrow trenches for pipes, cables, drainage, and irrigation.
5. Ditch Cleaning Bucket
  Useful for ditch cleaning, grading, slope work, and site finishing.
If I could choose only three: Bucket + Hydraulic Breaker + Hydraulic Thumb.

Which attachment do you use the most?

I’ve been looking into the Shanding SD18 mini excavator. Are the controls hydraulic joysticks?

I’m preparing to buy mini excavators for rental. Wondering if the hydraulic thumb is worth the extra cost.
