machinery with your base machine. We can also provide forestry guarding for a range of tractors & excavators.
How do I choose the right attachment for my machine?
Typically, users would access the requirements of their site and workload, taking note of the typical tasks required, to then look for attachments optimised to this
workload. From there, our team are on hand to talk through the various specifications and base machine requirements, such as oil flow and hydraulic. Our team will then work to produce any bespoke hitches, and then Jas P Wilson’s delivery and installation team will ensure that your machine is optimised to get to work.
Are these attachments compatible with all brands of machinery (e.g. John Deere, Kubota, JCB)?
Yes – our team can offer expert technical advice requires, and our national network of Jas P Wilson employed Regional Service Technicians can visit to offer comprehensive support to ensure your base machine and the new attachment work seamlessly.

Can this equipment be used for hedge cutting or only tree trimming?
Yes some contractors will use it on large hedge “reductions” where the height is brought down to a more manageable/aesthetically pleasing height, or e.g. farmers might use it on some boundary lines, where larger diameter trees are more prevalent than thinner branches, where a standard hedge trimmer would be used.
Is this equipment suitable for commercial forestry or agricultural use?
Yes – this machinery is designed to support commercial arboriculture and forestry operations.
Is it easy to switch between attachments on site?
Yes they are on a “quick hitch” system, with machinery supplied with a hitch to allow operators to quickly detach this, uncouple the hoses, and swap to another attachment within a few minutes.

Attachments can be plug-and-play but for some attachments, where optimisation is required, our expert team are available to support.
Is training needed to operate this equipment safely?
