The utility work machine will have a standard and high flow hydraulic system, allowing the use of certain attachments that require more flow. The utility work machine will have several attachments including 62” combination bucket, landscape rake for smoothing earth/dirt and removes rocks down to ½ inch and smaller and a sand and salt spreader to assist with snow removal operations. The machine will have a powered attachment changing device, to be able to switch attachments from the cab, causing less chance of accidents and requiring less time and one person operation.
