What tractor attachments does MCM Group supply?

How do tractor attachments connect to the tractor?
Most tractor attachments connect via the three-point linkage (3PL) and are powered by the PTO (power take-off) shaft. Some hydraulic implements also use the tractor's auxiliary hydraulic couplers. MCM Group can advise on compatibility with your specific tractor.
What tractor PTO horsepower is needed for MCM attachments?
PTO power requirements vary by attachment. PTO-driven backhoe diggers typically require 20 to 60 HP. Wood chipper attachments require 30 to 80 HP depending on the model. Contact MCM Group with your tractor's specifications for a compatibility check.
Where can I buy tractor attachments in South Africa?
MCM Group supplies tractor attachments from branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng and Bloemfontein, with nationwide delivery available.
MCM Group's tractor attachment range is designed to work with mid-range utility tractors typically used on South African farms and smallholdings. PTO-driven implements are powered directly from the tractor engine via the power take-off shaft, while hydraulically-operated attachments use the tractor's auxiliary hydraulic circuits. Understanding which connection type an attachment requires is essential before purchasing.
The three-point hitch (3PL) is the universal mounting system for tractor implements. Category I is standard on tractors up to approximately 45 kW, Category II suits 45—120 kW tractors, and Category III is used on heavy implements for high-horsepower machines. MCM Group can confirm which hitch category applies to the attachments in our range.
For farmers managing their own woodlots, the MCM wood chipper attachment turns timber offcuts, prunings and small logs into wood chip mulch that suppresses weeds, improves soil moisture retention and reduces fire risk. PTO-driven backhoe diggers allow a tractor owner to tackle post holes, trenching, drainage work and small excavation tasks without hiring a separate excavator.
All tractor attachments supplied by MCM Group include local warranty, operator training support and access to genuine parts from our branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng and Bloemfontein.
