Excavator Buckets
 

I recently received a rc4wd xl4200 excavator. I am quite happy with how functional this machine is. However I started building a large volume finishing bucket, smaller than stock hard ground bucket and a ripping tooth. Being in Canada and dealing with many months of poor weather(and not having a basement to dig out like Joe...lol) I am part way through an electro magnet so I can load small metal scraps indoors. Of corse I couldn't have all these attachments without a quick attach.

Here is the quick attach

It is like a quick attach I have used on some 1:1 units with the bolted retaining bar.

And a few of the large bucket

I put a revesable cutting edge on it. Worked well in testing.

And a rew of the start to new buckets.
