[QUOTE="Mr_C, post: 37669, member: 3074"] Thats a great pic of the different uses, I haven't seen that one before. So far it has worked pretty well for me. The first time I tried using it I had to switch back to my other bucket because I was trying to dig the top foot of topsoil off, and it was sod that had been hard packed from my driving over it a lot hauling clay. It was just too packed to get through with the wider bucket. I put on my old bucket (1 1/2 feet narrower) and was able to dig through it. Since then, I have been using the 4 in 1 exclusively. Besides the obvious advantages of being wider than my skidsteer when digging and spreading, I have also found the back dragging and scraping to be quite useful, allowing me to scrap a small amount of hardpacked clay off the top, where I couldn't do it with the tip of the bucket because it would either dig too deap or slide on top. The clam for picking up the last bits of a pile works well also. I am using an old 825, so my aux control is actually a third pedal between the 2 primary pedals. I have started getting used to moving my feet back and forth. [/QUOTE]
