I have noticed you've been making sure to give credit where it is due so to speak. A lot of folks don't do that very often. I'm sure the people behind the scenes really appreciate the personal pride you give in almost everything you do and get!!! Great job!!! Thanks
As I mentioned in my comment on the other Jawbone video you uploaded I'm very impressed with the engineering on this. No exposed rams in the contact area, No exposed hoses where contact with the ground takes place. Well thought out, well engineered and with the helical actuator internal to the torsion tube nothing exposed to dirt and grit. Bravo AMI well done! Personally I would've thrown some hose protection sleeving on those auxiliary hoses.
They got to put their name on a product they made and will be used. I did not literally sign my name to all of the units I was on the line when they were made but from the serial numbers all of the people who worked on a specific unit can be traced from a specific unit at Trane, Inc. Many people don't understand this that your name is associated with a product whether they physically sign it or not.
Nothing like hanging a little new paint on your stick!!! Your collection of attachments keeps growing. Pretty soon deciding on the attachment will be the toughest part of the job.
I actually have a sadly former life long friend who has this attachment on a surprisingly large cat dozer he personally owns and operates up in New Hampshire. You should have seen him change the bad gearing on one of the sprockets! That was one for the ages there! Good times back then anyways.
Great video. It would be awesome if you able to take a photograph of all the names on the bucket. Then have a custom picture frame made up which to add the photograph to. Send it back to the company so they could place it were everyone could see it. Just a thought.
interesting bucket. That is too cool... dig and grade too. Can't wait to see you dig out roots, push over a tree, then grade the root ball hole back to level like it was never there.
It be great if the tooth portion of the bucket followed the curl to a pre set position so it would never come in contact with the stick. Nice bucket man congrats
We had a jaw bucket ,real close to this ,lot of up keep but excellent bucket. They don't grab as much as a thumb, but they are great for house sites,we had it on a 2650,paid for its self
New watcher. Noticed at 7:22 the hoses rubbed on the machine. Could that be a problem? Bucket looks like fine workmanship ( can we still say that?). Good video as well. Thanks.
I really like that bucket, very impressive, personally with as much money as there is in the jawbone bucket and the rotobec grapple I would prefer to buy an encon tilt rotator with a tooth bucket, grading bucket and a log grapple. All of that it’s pretty awesome just depends on what your doing with it and how much you wan to spend.
I'd have to agree with you. I can see where the jawbone bucket and his rotobec grapple would be awesome paired with a tilt rotator. I have a variety of attachments for my engcon setup but there's always more.
I enjoyed the video. This one was was more than an appetizer. Haha. I'm looking forward to seeing how the bucket was made and more videos of it working.
yeah sold ot of them here my kubota dealer is accully pretty well only one works with ami because cat and deeres here doesnt like to work or partnered with other company wich im glad my kubota and case dealer enjoys working with ami gang here in canada :)
Nice bucket Tim. I work for Volvo where M&M got there new 355 from and we had put buckets like that on there 2 machines and they would not hold a load so we have take them off and put a different type of bucket on them. Good luck.
First glance it s good idea. Main criticism I see is that if you were cleaning out a trench and you wanted a smooth base, the arms of the jaw are wider than the straight cutting edge. They could have almost flipped the jaw sections inwards a bit and had them meeting like a pelican bucket. If the arms were almost inverted it could also increase the dirt capacity without making the bucket wider. Much better than anything I could build. I expect they will tweak it as they require. And of course there is no need to haul extra attachments around, weight and theft being consideration on that front. Nice video.
I love the idea of this style bucket plus it looks awesome... however there`s two concerns I have. First the hoses are in the danger area worse than the thumb routing... I`m constantly in thick wooded areas so snags and getting crushed can happen more often... second the two hoses feeding the bucket are bent quite sharply... I think they should simply switch to a 90 degree fitting to ease the transition.This is just my take on it Tim... AMI definitely has there stuff together.Great vid!!
I want one actually two for our Takeuchi 60 and 40 How much also how long i need it for concrete removal so i can do away at least for now the thumb because that dude there looks like it will work better when you are grabbing the smaller pieces usually we have one of out laborers pick it up.
That shop should be shooting a foam plug scrubber through the hose..that is the only way to ensure it's clean..i even take the scrubbers and soak them with brake clean when i do it..it get's them spottless..
I definitely would not be putting any kind of brake clean inside of my hoses. They will soften and swell the rubber inside of your hoses preferably rinse lines with actual hydralic fluid.
Your right. , on there quick. , i mean slow attach. Hope he has luck with ami. Just bust anything they have made to pieces up here in our boulders , but maby they have gotten better over the years. Im a geith guy for holding up
Nice 👍 Now you are going to have to put a pad of rubber or steel on your stick so your teeth don’t hit it. It looks like it will take some metal out very quickly. Can you say how much it costs?
@@simpleman4196 I prefer this a lot better than with the thumb on the machine. Even though if I swap to say my 3’ bucket or tilt grade bucket, I prefer not having the thumb because I never really used it with those anyhow. The jawbone is costly but having the quick option of the smooth edge instantly is awesome.
Not once did you actually show what the the bucket was truly intended for, which is the jaw bone part of it / replacement of the thumb.. I myself & I sure many other people would have loved to it in action. Picking up a log/tree or pulling out thick scrub.
Hoses never blow at the start of the day, always at the end and far away from a hose making facility. With as many machines as you have i would think it might pay to have one on the truck.
cotontop3 okay that makes great sense! I really enjoy your videos and your presentation. Your right when you said on another post that a lot of viewers like the repair vids. As a mechanic i learn a lot from watching and listening to others.
@@tlr-nut7275 yeah well kubota factory is in japan and assembly is in georgia and the kubota coroporation inspection facility is in thai land wich my neices mom is the kubota coroporation cheif inspector officer in thai land wich you see her red sticker says passed by cheif inspector :)

That bucket is going to be useful. Nice touch getting the employees to sign it, they got something to show family and friends.

yeah the ami gang from here in canada :)
Michael Mac Tavish
Didn’t realize that was even that close up in Waterloo being from Woodstock area
@@Sicktrickintuner yeah thats here in canada
As A factory worker I think was really nice to give those factory workers some recognition
Would like to see how this handles logs and brush for replacing the thumb

That's a dream for fishing grade work. I bet it will also pop up saplings and fence posts with ease. Thanks for sharing this awesome tech.
That's a sweet bucket, and I counted around 60 signatures. That was nice of them to do that for you.
I actually have a sadly former life long friend who has this attachment on a surprisingly large cat dozer he personally owns and operates up in New Hampshire. You should have seen him change the bad gearing on one of the sprockets! That was one for the ages there!

Great video Tim 👍👍👍. Can’t wait to see the video of the bucket being built. Thanks
The video I’ve been waiting on for a while! This is awesome right here.
The tool they used to blow out hose at assembly, is meant to shoot a foam projectile through hose to ensure that it’s clean.
Good day Boy when I saw the letters AMI. I live about 10 klms from there , often wondered were they all go, now I know where 1 went. Good video Thanks
Great video 👍 Tim! That's what you call a all in one bucket rough it in and finish the trench with a smooth bottom.
Tim there would be a reason to leave the stock thumb on the mini excavator you could use it like a live heal like on your loader with the grapple
Nathan Brodeur but his auxiliary hydraulics are being used for the jaw bone bucket....
Great video. It would be awesome if you able to take a photograph of all the names on the bucket. Then have a custom picture frame made up which to add the photograph to. Send it back to the company so they could place it were everyone could see it. Just a thought.

Have you thought about digging graves? That is sweet. I also like a multi capable machine. Thanks for the videos.
Awesome bucket tim!
Those guy’s build some great attachments
Looks good on the kubota
Have a great day 👍🏻
Strenx and Hardox, no expense spared, should be a good bucket
you know what that would really be useful on... extendahoe backhoes that dont really have a good way to mount a thumb.
This bucket is impressive !
Love the vid Tim. Hopefully everything is going to work the way you want it to. Nice bucket!!!!
yeah looked at one at my kubota dealer here in canada wich he uses kubota and AMI attachments
Great job on the video Tim that is a cool tool to have thank you for sharing
Those are Nord lock washers and those babies will not back off when you torque then right they will stay.
That's awsome man!!!!. U will miss that thumb on certain things. What keeps the collars on sir??
looking foward to the video of the build
Just imagine that thing on a tilt rotator. That would give you the thumb all the tilt rotators are missing plus a two in one bucket
My thoughts exactly 💯
O wow! There has to be one right? I am going to search now. It might just be preferable with the claw on back of engcon?
Great video always enjoy your video have a great day
Awesome Attachment 👌. Will save a pile of time.

I ran those in Vicksburg when he got them and have videos of them on here.

If. Quick attach. Just. Have 2 separate buckets and leave your thumb. We would bust that thing to shit in the rocks of northeast
Thanks for the video's. Great educational resource for my children. Bravo Zulu
Like the bucket a lot. I would be concerned about the hyd hoses being unprotected on the sides though ?

Now that's precision!!!!
By the way ..YOU ARE HAVING TO MUCH FUN..TIM...lololol..love the vids man...
Those washers are the best washers in the world!!
Is there 2 actuators running each side of the jaw ?
Those nord lock are the only way to go. I really like AMI products there great quality.
Cool bucket have a good day
That shop should be shooting a foam plug scrubber through the hose..that is the only way to ensure it's clean..i even take the scrubbers and soak them with brake clean when i do it..it get's them spottless..
haha called it! i was hoping youd get the jawbone been wanting to see it in action
I'm waiting for those to show up on a bigger Komatsu or Cat. It's a good idea for a excavator bucket.
If not mistaken. There was jaw bone buckets made years ago for bigger excavator s.
Its a really cool bucket, but seems like its still geared around digging. That interference when using the smooth buck is gonna get you someday.
Nice weapon Napa mike approved 👍
Tim, i think you have a bucket for every day of the week !
Just found your channel love your content. I’m hoping to start my own company here in the next year or so
so what did it cost? I need one for my JD 455D Crawler Loader with backhoe.
Right: what does it cost. That should be covered in the first 30 seconds of the video!!
what happens if that rowtator breaks that swings the jaw up or down can you fix it yourself or do you have to take it to a dealer to fix it
You repack it and keep rolling.
That make the money love it
I definitely would not be putting any kind of brake clean inside of my hoses. They will soften and swell the rubber inside of your hoses preferably rinse lines with actual hydralic fluid.
Someone show Andrew Camarata this. Think he needs this.
Now I just need an excavator
Cool attachment
Man I do not miss the Kubota quick attachment forgot how much they suck nice bucket tho
Your right. , on there quick. , i mean slow attach. Hope he has luck with ami. Just bust anything they have made to pieces up here in our boulders , but maby they have gotten better over the years. Im a geith guy for holding up
Are you ever gonna consider getting a mower to go on the mini
Yes I want one.
Christmas in July!
Ya era hora que dejara algo bueno la pandemia, saludos
Nice 👍 Now you are going to have to put a pad of rubber or steel on your stick so your teeth don’t hit it. It looks like it will take some metal out very quickly. Can you say how much it costs?
Nice bucket, But I can't do without a thumb. Use other attachments that has to have it
Cost for goodness sake; what is the price tag?
Nice bucket
you better put some outside wrapping on those 2 hoses then you are not wearing out your hoses
get rid of the 90 fittings on the bucket and hoses should route better coming straight out
those are nord lock washers
What u going to do with the thumb an the other buckets now
I’ll put it back on one day when I swap machines.
Are you concerned for the new hoses you just had made up? They look like they are going to rub a bit on the pin???
No because I have a sleeve I am going to put over them.
I like you I like your bucket
How wide is that bucket?
It’s a 2’
@@cotontop3 thanks for getting back. Do you like this more then a thumb. If you put on your other buckets you no longer have a thumb

hi , im amazed that when something new comes out your always able to afford it!!! must be nice to be rich! i always enjoy your posted videos.
Me and Jill are far from rich, I work hard for the stuff that I have, I do a lot of jobs others are not willing to do and it pays off for me.
Wiss tin snips. Faster. No battery.
I noticed the teeth hitting the boom. That is a big negative for me.
Hello brother
Looks the business
Pair that thing with a tilt I rator and you could do some damn grading
It looks useful but them hydraulic lines has no protection making it a bad design
Slick
