[QUOTE="walio123, post: 105768, member: 9827"] Bobcat does not sell such attachment. In the distant year of 1996 we had to remove 10 decares of old plum trees. We were thinking of hiring a bulldozer for this job. Then there were bad times in my country. Inflation that devalued money for days. It turned out that if we hired a bulldozer we would have to spend almost all of our money. I had an almost new 953 bobcat and with my dad I decided to try with it. We looked at what a Bobcat offered and I thought that what they offer is good if you have to take 2-3 trees a day, load a lot of the machine's arm. My father, who is a construction engineer in education, told me that we can make a simple construction that takes almost all the workloads on himself without weighing the skidsteer. Proposed this form of a triangular pyramid, and a lever attached to the top. I bought a jack from an old Tatra truck that was sold for parts. It is a 20 ton dump truck so I hope I will have power.We made the whole construction for 3 days. We only have to figure out the grip that will hold the tree. At first I thought it was like a bobcats tree spade but I could not find a suitable cylinder and diverter valve. That's why we decided to make it just in the shape of V.
