you'll love it since I have to stop to have someone undo the coupler or jump out and do it myself I have never even used my non tilting grading bucket. I always just throw this one on the 2 hydraulic lines just take an extra second and its much more useful!
you can do one function at a time by closing the quick connector shut offs. This is something you have to do manually outside the machine but you can use this bucket in a fixed position and control the thumb if you wanted.
If I may ask how much was that tilt attachment the one I'm looking for for my bobcat 335 is $6,000 and I already have the ditching bucket why do you have but just the 190° Tilt assembly is 6000 I believe, thanks, really enjoy your videos
hey Johnny when I got the bucket while purchasing my machine it was around 3K if I remember right. I looked into the tilting coupler specifically the Helac however it was going to require additional accessory lines be run and complicated running a hammer or other hydraulic attachments. I'm not sure where you are digging but I was concerned about how well the tilting coupler would hold up dealing with rocks. Either route you choose having the capacity to tilt especially when grading is really great!
@@TylerBemis thank you so much I appreciate everything you can tell me ! I'll look forward to the opportunity to get the attachment and get it working, I can clearly imagine a thousand times that it would have come in so handy and save to me hours and hours of shoveling, now I just got to talk my wife into it LOL easier said than done sometime but it's all good
This isn't a tilt rotator the bucket does 45 degrees to the left and right it only tilts it doesn't rotate. You'd want to look into a Rototilt/Engcon/Steelwrist for that application. With a pin grabber style coupler which the CAT machines generally use you can install the bucket backward and use it as a front shovel if you wanted.
what was the reason for them not selling to you directly? I got this one from Milton Cat our local dealer. I've gotten quotes for other people from AMI and they didn't make an issue about buying direct.
Tyler Bemis a guy named Andy Lock at AMI. He asked for my “regular parts supplier” to send a quote to in which I don’t really have so I gave him my dealer info but never heard back. I’m small potatoes. Pretty arrogant of them
@@tbirdage thats unfortunate. I was just looking at the Mongo and it looks very comparable so I don't think you missed out on anything. I wonder if they are behind on production and are sending everything they are making to dealers. Regardless shouldn't have treated you like that.
I bought a 42” version of this when I bought my VIO50 this spring. Should be here soon.

Keep the videos coming my new friend , thank you !
The tilt bucket and the thumb clip share the same pipeline. Can you choose to control the tilt bucket or the thumb clip?

@@TylerBemis thank you!

Does the bucket do a full 180°

Part number and price thanks
I tried to buy from AMI but they wouldn’t sell direct to me like they did to letsdig18 and cotontop. So I bought a Mongo.
