Attachments?

An excellent thread started earlier by a quick-attach query has me wondering about the type and variety of attachments used on crawler loaders. Do you change tools often/regularly/at all with your track loader, or is your machine worked exclusively/primarily as the traditional dig-load-and-carry, bucketed crawler? In other words, it's a crawler loader, straight up? If you do hang other attachments on your crawler loader, what are they? As always, folks, any insight you can offer up is so very much appreciated.

    Anything that fits on a regular wheel loader can go on a track loader. We sell coupler packages on Track Loaders all the time. They are awesome for land clearing. A nice thick toothed Land Clearing Rake is a great tool. But, because the tracks can put so much more side load on the attachment, you need to really beef up the rake teeth.
