[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 13615, member: 897"] If you do a lot of grading it can be an issue. The bucket will want to dive into the grade. It is even worse if you have wear in the tilt pin bosses allowing your cutting edge to drift. Keeping your bucket half full of material will help with the pin slop and there are a couple of solutions to fix the bucket heel height. 1. You can purchase a “Track Bucket” these buckets have the attachment plate welded up higher on the bucket to allow it to sit level on the ground. 2. You can cut your attachment plate off and weld it back on at the correct height. This will probably also cause you to add some additional support at the top of the bucket. 3. Bobcat makes a bucket adapter for OTT. It was mentioned in the 2005 WorkSaver BOBCATALOG. On page 4 there is an article titled “Efficient, Productive Ways to Grade”. The last sentence of the first paragraph states: “Use the bucket adaptor with over-the-tire loader tracks to lower the heel height for improved grading performance.” I called my dealer, Lano Equipment, to ask about it last week and was told Bobcat did not have anything like that. I told them about the article and they stated they would check on it. The answer is yes they do make it and it is available. They quoted me $235 + $45 for shipping. They printed out the parts blow-up and I am going up there next week to take a look. He described it as attaching on the existing Bobtach and the pins on the loader Bobtach will control the pins on the adapter plate. So it appears you would still be able to use it with Power-Bobtach. I also contacted the other dealer near me and was told Bobcat does not make an adapter plate. Seems like Bobcat did not advertise it to the dealers. If you have multiple attachments, it seems like the adapter plate will be a better solution. I guess when I see the pictures next week I'll have a better opinion. [/QUOTE]
