[QUOTE="Mow Me Over, post: 795, member: 131"] Well Bobcat of VA dropped off the MT52 today with the attachments. I started off with the 4-1 bucket and man that thing is great. I hope whoever invented that design made some big bucks from it becuase it is some dam usefull. I then used the stump grinder attachment but it took a while and I found out tonight that I was not using the correct technique so I will try it differently tomorrow. The 36" wide bucket works well with the teeth on it but takes a little getting use to when trying to dig with it becuase of the lack of visabilty being blocked by the bucket. I think you have a little better visibility when digging and sitting inside a machine but I might be wrong on this. After about 15 minutes of using the 4-1 bucket I saw that it was leaking hydrolic fluiid so I did not get to use it nearly as much as I needed to today. I tried to tighten both lines that were leaking but with the wrenches that I had they would not fit in the small space so Im waiting to here back from the salesman to see if they can get it fixed tomorrow. I was able to pick up some 24-30" thick logs with the 4-1 bucket though when I was using it.
