I hate to spend the kind of money that they ask for some of these attachments. When you are a fabricator by trade and have all the tools required to build things it is just hard to part with the money. I am looking for proven attachment plans that actually work. My schedule I don't have much time to R & D a project. So does anyone know if there are plans that exist? Thanks G

as a fab guy myself , welder by trade and home machinest for 10+ yrs i only build by plans when they are brought to me then i spec it out as as for , other than that for all bobcat attachments all i need is to see it , then in my mind the wheels are turning then spec the build out on paper and then go to town . getting ready to build a grapple to pull logs out like a skidder .

I am totally with you on letting your wheels turn, putting on paper and go to town. It is like I totally understand the concept of how a rock rake works. I even thought of looking for a used bucket to build it out of. It is that it would be super nice to have all the specs to build one and motor size etc. I could swing by the local rental store and see if they would eat me snag a bunch of measurements off of it. Lol Not sure if they would like that but my thought is it is a bobcat rake and it is proven so it should work right from the beginning. Thanks G
