I did my research online about 2 weeks prior to purchasing my Ditch Witch SK800 on attachments. Both brand and what types I needed. Blue Diamond is a brand name for a reason. Other contractors and machine fanatics know the Blue Diamond name. Honestly, they just look “beefier” online compared to other brands. So I bought 3 Blue Diamond attachments right out the gate. Cause what’s a machine with no attachment? Started with the 36” pallet forks, 44” smooth grapple bucket with blade, and 52” low profile smooth bucket with blade. The grapple bucket is a beast. Not a single problem. It takes a beating on a regular basis between landscaping and concrete demos. It also got used daily for 3 months straight doing tree cleanup after Hurricane Laura. The smooth bucket is solid 9/10. I give it a 9 because it is heavy. But you can’t have “heavy duty” if its not heavy. It is our most used attachment. Transporting materials 1/3 of a yard at a time is very efficient for a mini skid steer. The pallet forks are great, but they are somehow heavier than the smooth bucket. The mini skid cant really pick up a pallet to begin with so its almost worthless because of the machines capabilities. We mostly use the forks around the shop to move leftover pallets of materials from past projects and loading plate compactors, pressure washers, job site boxes, etc. into truck beds. And I’m looking at more attachments on bluediamondattachments.com again, so that should say something alone.
