Yanmar Excavator Attachments by TGEC

Yanmar's century of diesel craftsmanship shines through the ViO and SV‑series — whisper‑quiet, fuel‑sipping machines that tiptoe through orchards, estates, and suburban lots. TGEC attachments — buckets, breakers, augers, flail mowers, thumbs and grapples — mirror that ethic: light enough to preserve zero‑tail‑swing agility, quiet enough to work near schools, and precision‑machined to bolt on without shims. Each tool ships factory‑direct to landscapers, farmers and utility crews, tuned to Yanmar's gentle hydraulic character.

ViO models feature a unique swing‑post offset that lets you dig flush against walls — a trick that demands narrow, low‑profile attachments. TGEC engineers slim buckets and flail mowers with reduced overhang and snag‑free hose routing, preserving the machine's tight‑corner reach. Our flail mowers also offer multi‑angle adjustment, so you can trim slopes without repositioning — a favourite of roadside crews.

Noise matters. Our silenced breakers and flail mowers cut operational noise by 6‑8 dB with double‑walled housings and rubber mounts, without losing cutting or breaking power. And because Yanmar engines sip fuel at low rpm, we've valved our tools to work efficiently in eco‑mode, so you save diesel while staying productive.

How to Choose the Right Yanmar Attachment

Start with your primary activity, not a spec sheet. If you maintain parks and golf courses, a flail mower with a 45° hydraulic tilt will let you trim bunker edges and water hazards without driving onto the grass. If you install irrigation and drainage, a narrow trenching bucket and a post‑hole auger are your workhorses. For light demolition of sheds or patios, a silenced breaker with a moil point will handle the job without alarming the neighbours. If you handle logs or rocks, a hydraulic thumb paired with a general bucket gives you grapple‑like capability at a lower cost.

Once you have the task, consider the machine’s flow and weight. The ViO17, weighing less than 1.8 tonnes, is best served by tools under 60 kg — anything heavier reduces the already modest lift capacity. The ViO35–ViO55 range (3.5‑5.5 tonnes) can handle tools up to 150 kg, including small breakers and flail mowers. The SV series (60–75) and medium SV100–SV135 extend that to 200‑300 kg tools, while the SV220 can manage larger breakers and heavy grapples. Yanmar’s auxiliary flow is typically in the 20‑50 L/min range for compacts, and 50‑80 L/min for mid‑size models — but more importantly, Yanmar’s pumps deliver consistent pressure even at low rpm, so tools with moderate flow demands and high torque efficiency are the best match.

Finally, verify the coupler. Most Yanmar machines from 2010 onward use a pin‑grab style coupler with a specific stop‑block geometry. Some older ViO models use a direct pin‑on system. TGEC can supply either version, or we can provide an adapter plate that converts pin‑on to quick‑coupler, giving you flexibility if you plan to upgrade your machine later. Just send us a photo of your current arm end or the machine serial number, and we will confirm the exact fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Yanmar’s zero‑tail‑swing design matter for attachment choice?+

Zero‑tail‑swing means the machine’s rear end stays within the track width during rotation — crucial for working between trees, alongside walls, or inside greenhouses. An attachment that protrudes too far backward or hangs too low can catch on obstacles and limit the swing arc. TGEC designs all ViO‑compatible attachments with a compact envelope, keeping the tool’s centre of gravity close to the arm pivot so the machine retains its full 360° freedom.

What makes Yanmar’s hydraulic system different from other compact excavators?+

Yanmar uses a load‑sensing, pressure‑compensated system that delivers steady flow even when the engine is idling. This favours attachments that can perform well at lower flow rates — like flail mowers with multi‑blade rotors and augers with planetary gears. TGEC tunes our tools’ internal valving to match this characteristic, ensuring that you can operate in eco‑mode without stalling the tool or losing productivity.

How does TGEC reduce noise on Yanmar attachments?+

We use sound‑damping housings on breakers and flail mowers, combined with rubber isolators between the attachment and the coupler plate. Our flail mowers also feature balanced rotor designs that minimise vibration, reducing both noise and fatigue on the machine’s boom and slew ring. Independent tests show a 5‑7 dB reduction compared to standard tools — noticeable enough to keep the neighbours happy.

Can I use a TGEC flail mower on a Yanmar ViO for roadside verge maintenance?+

Absolutely. We offer flail mowers with hydraulic side‑shift and tilt, allowing you to cut verges and ditches without driving the machine onto soft shoulders. The mower head can be offset up to 45° left or right, and the flails are reversible for longer life. We supply these with guard chains and breakaway hinges that protect the arm if you hit a hidden post — a practical feature for municipal contractors.

Does TGEC offer lightweight buckets for Yanmar ViO to preserve reach?+

Yes. Our ViO‑specific buckets use high‑strength steel with a thinner gauge but reinforced ribs, shedding up to 20% of weight compared to standard buckets of the same capacity. This allows you to maintain the machine’s rated lifting capacity and reach, especially important when working on slopes or when you need to place material precisely at the end of the arm. We can also customise the width and capacity based on your typical soil type — narrow for trenching, wider for light material.

Yanmar machines are built for precision and care — we build attachments that care for your machine and your site.

Tell us your Yanmar model, serial number, or describe your typical job. We’ll recommend a combination of attachments that balance weight, noise, and productivity, and we’ll even suggest hose lengths and fitting angles that match your machine’s specific plumbing. Because with Yanmar, every detail matters — and we’re here to help you get them right.
