Tilting buckets,the market.

[Vinpetrol]

I want one. I have been meaning to try and make one but have not got round to it yet! It may well be to much for my engineering skills though!

Hi Gridley

i agree with Muz but it would be difficult to achieve some of the steeper angles with blade and offset .

like Jim I want one too, although I wouldn't bother with anything less than 2.5 tonne as tilty would be generally used for reinstating and 1.5 toners not normally doing much of this type of work .

Roughly what price do you think they could be manufactured for ?
If you need a guinea pig to try one out I'm yer man

The fact that mini excavators have a dozer blade means you can change the angle of the whole machine, and what with an offset boom combined with this, means you can achieve some pretty odd angles anyway (if you know your digger) so I dont think they've really taken off for that reason .. it would nice to have though to save you setting all the other positions, but as always .. if the same can be achieved for less outlay ?

I asked this on the tiltrotator thread and was advised to start a new thread.
Do you guys think there is a market for small tilting buckets? I`m thinking 1.1/2 tonne and 2.1/2 tonne.
I was thinking maybe the landscaping guys could use them.
