[QUOTE="EverythingAttachments.com, post: 15150, member: 1702"] Wanted to say hello, and see what everyone thought of the new stump bucket design from Construction Attachments. Curious to see what you reaction is to this. [URL='http://www.everythingattachments.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CAL%2D1SBGSXD50'][IMG]http://www.everythingattachments.com/v/vspfiles/photos/CAL-1SBGSXD50-2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Here is the Specs. [SIZE=2]The bucket body parts are of 3/8” A572 plate steel. The side cutters are actual ½” X 4” 10[COLOR=navy]6[/COLOR]5 milled cutting edge material that [COLOR=navy]has[/COLOR] been cnc plasma cut for the teeth[COLOR=navy]. [/COLOR]Using the hard milled cutting edge material gives these side cutters the ability to cut, as well as, grab. This should be a decided advantage over comparable buckets that have merely had teeth cut into the hot rolled steel sideplates. The flat cut teeth on the competitor’s models may grab, but it will be more difficult to drive them through roots. I have ¾” A572 on the grapple arms and ¼” cap plates that are broken out as you can see in the photos with a ¼” doubler with teeth at the front of the grapple. The grapple caps are reinforced by 2”X2”X1/4” tubing and 2”X3”X1/4” tubing. Pivot pins are 1 ½” on the grapple and 1 3/16” on the cylinder.
