The 257B thread got me to thinking, especially the advice given re 4 in 1 and Harley Rakes. Also, awhile back BobcatS250 asked me to post some pic's of my machine at play. Soooo:
1. Two attachments I could not be without are my 4 in 1 and my trash rake. Today the trash rake turned about 30m3 of a rubbish pile into 2 x 6.5m3 truckloads. (1m3 = 1.3y3 or 1 cubic yard = 3/4 of a cubic metre) This saved me and the client on fuel, time and tip fees. Whilst some may argue I put myself out of work using the trash rake to sift out the dirt, I say I got the job on a fair price for the work I did and was heaps cheaper than the guys just using a standard bucket. ie. I quoted on 2 truckloads to the dump and they would have been quoting on at least 4 or 5. I was also able to move onto another job whereas 5 loads would have seen me working in the dark!.
Just my 2c worth on that issue.
2. Because of my high school maths teacher I have to fess up...What the hell is a Harley Rake and what do you use them for?...I read all these posts on this forum but I have never seen one.......Is it the same as when I grab a piece of 4x2 in my clamshell and use it for levelling????
3. Because we also build retaining walls I probably couldn't be without my pallet forks but you can never have too many toy......attachments.:blush:
