Included & compatible.
Included free with every hire
- 300mm gummy bucket

Available attachments
Shares every attachment with our ViO17-1 — the Digga PDX2 auger drive with 150/250/300mm tungsten bits, the Force Hammers RS200 rock breaker, the limestone block lifter and the ripper. With the hydraulic hitch, swapping between them takes seconds, not spanners.
Transport
Pairs with our Apex 3.5T plant trailer — the combo weighs about 2.9T all up, well under the 4.5T limit, so you tow it on a standard car licence (trailer FREE on 7+ day hires). Or we deliver: $70 each way within 25km of the Perth CBD.
Ideal jobs.
Pick the ViO20-6 when the job needs more than the 1.7T — without giving up the tow-away convenience:
- Deeper trenches and drainage — 2.4m+ of dig depth
- Footings, pads and pool or spa digs
- Limestone retaining walls — up to 1,100kg of lift for the block lifter
- Rock breaking with the RS200 — swap to the breaker in seconds with the hydraulic hitch
- Multi-attachment days: auger the holes, rip the cap rock, dig the trench — no tools between swaps
- Still true zero tail swing — works clean against walls and boundaries
Access tighter than 1.4m? The 1.7T ViO17-1 squeezes down to 950mm.
Tow-away package
ViO20-6 + Apex 3.5T trailer + three buckets: a full week for $735 total, ex GST — towed on your own car licence.
