171+ Attachments: One Machine, Endless Jobs
Here is the thing most people do not realise when they first look at a MultiCat wheel loader: you are not buying one machine. You are buying access to an entire fleet of 171+ machines, all in one compact, affordable package.
Every MultiCat wheel loader is built around a quick-change attachment system. That means in minutes, your loader transforms from a digger to a mower, from a forklift to an auger, from a broom to a log grabber. One machine. One operator. Dozens of jobs, done.
That is not a sales pitch. That is the reality of what 171+ purpose-built attachments give you.
Why the Attachment Ecosystem Changes Everything
Think about how many separate machines, contractors, or hire fees it takes to handle a typical week on a busy farm, construction site, or commercial property. Shifting materials. Mowing paddocks. Drilling post holes. Clearing stumps. Loading pallets. Trimming hedges. Grading driveways.
Without a multifunction loader, that is five or six different machines, or five or six different hire bookings, each with their own cost, their own scheduling hassle, and their own operator requirements.
With a MultiCat and the right attachments, one person on one machine handles the lot. That is less capital tied up in equipment, fewer hire invoices, less time coordinating, and more time getting the actual work done.
Attachment Categories at a Glance
Buckets and Ground Work
The foundation of any wheel loader setup. MultiCat offers 4-in-1 buckets in 1.6m and 1.8m widths for digging, grabbing, grading, and loading in a single attachment. Sieve buckets in 1.5m and 1.8m sizes let you screen soil, separate rocks, and clean up material on site. Add the leveler for precision grading or the digger arm for excavation work without needing a separate excavator on site.
Mowing and Vegetation Management
Keep properties, paddocks, and roadsides under control. The 1.6m flail mower handles heavy vegetation and rough pasture. The heavy-duty slasher mower takes on thick scrub. Hedge trimmers in 1.0m (with arm) and 1.8m sizes make boundary maintenance fast. And the stump grinder removes stumps below ground level without needing a dedicated stump grinding contractor.
Forks and Lifting
Manual adjust forks turn your loader into a forklift for pallets, building materials, and general freight. The lifting gib boom gives you crane-like capability for positioning heavy items at height.
Grapples, Grabs, and Material Handling
Purpose-built for primary industries. Log grapples in 1.2m and 1.5m sizes handle timber, branches, and forestry debris. The swivel log grabber adds rotation for precise placement. Bale grabs handle round bales for hay and silage work. The silage grab (1.5m) and silage reclaimer are built specifically for dairy and livestock operations, saving hours during feed-out.
Drilling and Breaking
The auger powerhead with drill bits handles post holes, tree planting, and foundation work. The post driver slams posts into the ground without manual labour. Break hammers in 35mm, 40mm, and 70mm rod sizes tackle concrete, rock, and demolition across light to heavy applications.
Sweeping and Cleaning
Broom sweepers and closed sweepers keep yards, car parks, footpaths, and warehouse floors clean. These are especially valuable for commercial yard operators and councils.
Snow and Winter
For operators in colder regions, the V-shaped snow pushing blade and snow blower attachments keep driveways, access roads, and yards clear during winter without needing a dedicated snow machine.
Specialty Attachments
The range extends further with concrete mixers, rotary tillers, trenching machines, wood shredders, vibratory rollers, and more. If your operation has a specific need, chances are there is an attachment built for it. And if there is not, our team can work with you on custom solutions.
Quick-Change System: Swap in Minutes
Every MultiCat attachment connects through a quick-change system designed for speed and simplicity. You do not need a mechanic or special tools. One operator can swap attachments on-site in minutes, meaning you move between jobs without downtime.
That matters when your day starts with loading pallets, shifts to mowing a paddock, and finishes with drilling post holes. Three jobs, three attachments, one machine, zero hassle.
The Maths: Why One Machine Beats Many
Here is a real-world example. Say you need to handle five common tasks on a typical NZ farm or construction site:
Loading and earthworks (4-in-1 bucket): sorted
Mowing paddocks (flail mower): sorted
Drilling post holes (auger): sorted
Clearing logs (log grapple): sorted
Moving pallets (forks): sorted
Hiring five separate machines for even a few days each month adds up fast. Or buying five single-purpose machines means five purchase prices, five maintenance schedules, five sets of fuel costs, five lots of storage space.
One MultiCat LX100 starting from $25,990+GST, plus your chosen attachments, gives you all five capabilities in one machine that fits through a 1.6m gate. The total investment is a fraction of the alternatives, and you own the lot.
An Ecosystem That Keeps Growing
With 171 attachments already available and more being added, your MultiCat never stops gaining capability. Buy the machine today with the attachments you need most, and add more over time as your operation grows. Every new attachment makes your original investment more valuable.
That is what we mean when we say a MultiCat is more than just a wheel loader. It is an entire fleet, in one machine.
