Nice work, thanks for sharing. A friend of mine went to NZ recently and said it was one of the coolest places he's been too.

Yeah i have alot of pride for NZ. People think its a tiny wee island but its actually pretty big.

what kind of grapple bucket is that .any better pics of it?

 

[TrentNz]

Ill post the two i have. The attach2 multi grab bucket is not bad but not really suited for soft demo (wood etc) as it doesnt really pick enough up. It might be good if it had two more grab points coming off it. And the angle of it is not quite suited to be used as an ordinary bucket. It would be good for the likes of rock retaining walls etc. its about 950kg for a 14t machine. now the 2nd grab i quite like it picks up a really good amount of soft demo and really great for pulling up wooden floors in big sections. Only real downside is the hoses are exposed and you have to switch to another bucket to
shovel the last bit of demo into. The grab is about 850kg
Really depends what your using them for

do you have any hyd thumbs thats what a lot of people use in our part of the world

Yeap im a die hard hyd thumb fan but my boss is not. He likes mechnical grabs just because of the money point of view. They cost about the same but no down time due to broken hoses, f'd rams or pins etc. but they save time and if you look after em theyre the best thing a man could have. But you know how them bean counters are. They look at it from a money point of view

Just like many things. Someone abuses a tool and everyone blames the tool,not the guy who is abusing it.
